August Kopff (February 5, 1882–April 25, 1960) was a German astronomer who discovered several comets and asteroids.
He discovered some comets, including periodic comet 22P/Kopff and the non-periodic C/1906 E1.
He discovered a number of asteroids, including notably the Trojan asteroids 617 Patroclus and 624 Hektor.
A crater on the Moon is named after him: see Kopff (crater).
