Denhof is a Polish coat of arms. It was used by several szlachta families in the times of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Dönhoff (German) or Denhoff (Polish) (sometimes also Denhof or Doenhoff) was a Livonian German noble family, a branch of which moved to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th century and became recognized as a Polish noble (szlachta) there.
