Hans Potthof (January 24, 1911 - March 29, 2003) was a Swiss painter as well as a sprint canoeist who competed in the late 1930s.
Potthof completed in the K-1 1000 m event at the 1936 Summer Olympics, but was eliminated in the heats.[1]
He later was a painter and graphic artist; he painted landscapes and figures, and created drawings, lithographs, murals, mosaics and stained glass. His mural on the Katastrophenbucht, created in the 1970s, was remarkable: the painting existed until 1998.[2]
