Ernst Vanhöffen (15 November 1858, Wehlau – 14 June 1918) was a German zoologist. He studied geology, botany and zoology at the Universities of Berlin and Königsberg, graduating in 1888 with the thesis ''Untersuchungen über semaeostome und rhizostome Medusen''. In 1889-90 he conducted research of jellyfish at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn in Naples. In 1892-93 he participated in a ''Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin''-sponsored expedition to West Greenland under the leadership of Erich von Drygalski (1865–1949). Afterwards he worked for a few years at the Institute of Zoology in Kiel. In 1898-99 he took part in the ''Deutschen Tiefsee-Expedition'' aboard the steamship "Valdivia". From an abundant yield of deep-sea marine fauna collected on the expedition, Vanhöffen was tasked with processing medusa species. After his return to Germany, he served as a lecturer at the University of Kiel, attaining the title of professor in March 1901. From August 1901 to November 1903 he was a member of the ''Deutschen Südpolar-Expedition'' aboard the research vessel "Gauss". Led by Erich von Drygalski, the expedition endured periods of hardship due to the "Gauss" being trapped in Antarctic ice for several months.〔(Antarctic Explorers ) Erich von Drygalski 1865-1949〕 Vanhoffen Bluff (Coordinates: 53°0′S 73°21′E) was named in his honor. == Written works == * ''Untersuchungen über semaeostome und rhizostome Medusen'', 1888 - Analysis of Semaeostomeae and Rhizostome medusae.
