Noah Wolff (August 18, 1809 – October 4, 1907) was an industrialist and Jewish community leader in Neheim, Germany (now Arnsberg). His headstone at the Neheim Jewish Cemetery [de] (German: Jüdischer Friedhof Neheim) was washed away by the Dambusters raid flood in 1943 and unexpectedly found intact in 2012 during a construction project along the Ruhr.^[1] The gravemarker was restored and returned to the cemetery.

Wolff and his brother ran a company called Gebrüder Wolff. They originally produced pins, needles, umbrella frames, and fishing tools,^[2] and later kerosene lamps and electrical equipment. In 1857 Wolff was the head of the synagogue district Arnsberg^[1] and was the main benefactor who funded the construction of the Neiheim Synagogue [de] in 1876. The synagogue was destroyed on Kristallnacht in 1938 but was restored in 1985 and is used as a community space.^[3]
