Karl Theodor Bayrhoffer (October 14, 1812 – 3 February 1888) was a German American philosopher and publicist, from 1838 to 1846 professor of philosophy in the University of Marburg.
He became a member of the Diet of Hesse-Cassel in 1848, and in 1850 was President of the Chamber. After the defeat of his party (Democratic) he came to the United States in 1853 and settled in Wisconsin as a farmer, though from 1866 he lived principally by his pen.
In his early writings, notably in Idea and History of Philosophy (1838), he appears as a zealous disciple of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Afterward he became a champion of German Catholicism and wrote Researches into the Essence, History, and Criticism of Religion (1849).
