Helen von Münchofen (often spelt Helen von Münchhofen) (1904–1956) was a Danish-German film actress. She was born in Copenhagen, but later moved to Germany where she embarked in a career in films. She played a small part in Fritz Lang's Metropolis in 1927, but then gained more substantial roles in silent films of the late 1920s. Following the Nazi rise to power in 1933 she returned to Denmark where she appeared in Pál Fejös's The Golden Smile (1935).
Her daughter also became an actress. Her granddaughter is Suzanne Doucet, a singer and composer.
