Holger Peter Sandhofe (7 January 1972 – 24 May 2005^[1]) was a German typesetter and scholar of Gregorian chant.

Sandhofe studied music theory, medieval Latin, and history in Bonn.^[2] He mainly worked on producing musical editions for the older (pre-Vatican II) forms of the Roman Rite, and was involved in obtaining permission to hold services according to this form of the liturgy at the Alt-St.-Nikolaus church in Bonn. He also led a schola cantorum which sang the services according to the Germanic forms of chant in the manuscripts of Klosterneuburg.^[2] In 2002 he produced an edition of the Nocturnale Romanum containing all the chants for the observance of Matins according to the Roman Breviary throughout the year.^[3] Sandhofe drew on an "eclectic selection" of sources, writing some of the chants himself.^[4]

Sandhofe died on 24 May 2005 at the age of 33 following a long illness.^[2]
