Hermann Bischoff (7 January 1868 in Duisburg – 25 January 1936 in Berlin) was a German composer of classical music.
After leaving Leipzig to continue his first studies of music, he met Richard Strauss and fell in with his circle.

His first symphony, dedicated to Strausssee Scan of symphony, p. 9. was performed (premiered?) in Essen on 24 May 1906, as part of the 42nd Tonkünstler-Festival, the same festival that saw the premiere of Gustav Mahler's Sixth Symphony.The review refers to Bischoff as a pupil, not just an associate, of Strauss.
