The Hülphers family is a German-Swedish family originating from Schmalkalden, Thuringia, Holy Roman Empire.
Hans and Jannich Hilper immigrated from Schmalkalden to Sweden circa 1626, engaging in Swedish iron works. A great-grandson of Hans Hilper was the early industrialist Abraham Hülphers the Elder (1704–1770). The family was part of the Swedish nobility.
