The Lutherse hofje is in the Witte Heren straat on the north side of the Lutherse Kerk (Haarlem), and the Frans Loenenhofje is on the southern side of that church.

The Lutherse Hofje is a hofje in Haarlem, Netherlands.

The hofje was founded by the Lutheran Church in 1615. Originally the people living in the hofje were members of this church, but nowadays only the board of the hofje is appointed by the Lutheran Church. The hofje adjoins the Lutheran church itself, and has an unusual addition in the garden, namely an outdoor pulpit. From this pulpit, the minister could address the women in the hofje.
