Julien Hoffmann (31 May 1924 – 2007) was a Luxembourgian composer and Professor of Music.

Hoffmann composed the march "La marche du Grand-Duc Henri",[6] first performed at a special concert before the Grand Ducal family at the Grand Ducal Palace at 8 p.m. on October 7, 2000. In the darkness, the musicians of la musique militaire were surrounded by reserve soldiers bearing torches.[7] [8] [9] Hoffmann was commissioned to compose the piece as part of the ceremonies for Grand Duke Jean's abdication and Grand Duke Henry's accession to the throne of Luxembourg.
