Gertrude Hay Hoffman (born Kitty Hayes 1871 or 1876 ; died 1966) was an early 20th-century vaudeville dancer and choreographer.cite web | title = Gertrude Hoffman| publisher = Dance Collection Danse| url = http://www.dcd.ca/exhibitions/vancouver/hoffman.html| date = | accessdate = 2008-05-05]

Hoffman was well-known for her roles as Salome, but her performances were eventually stopped due to the "indecent" dancing involved. For a brief period in her career, Gertrude did impersonations of various other performers, such as comedian Eddie Foy and actress Ethel Barrymore. The Hoffman Glide, a social dance, was named after her.cite web | title = Gerturde Hay Hoffman| publisher = StreetSwing.com| url = http://www.streetswing.com/histmai2/d2hofman.htm| date = | accessdate = 2008-05-05]
