Abraham ("Bram") Robertus Lomans (born on April 19, 1975 in Roosendaal) is a former Dutch field hockey player, who twice won the golden medal at the Olympics: in Atlanta (1996 and in Sydney (2000).

He made his debut for the Dutch side on June 16, 1995 in a friendly match against Ireland. Since then the defender played 201 international matches for Holland, in which he scored 140 goals. Lomans was famous for his penalty corners. He is one of the precursors of the drag flick technique that appeared in the 1990s.

Just before the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens he was removed from the team by coach Terry Walsh. Lomans played in the Dutch League for Push and HGC, and stopped at top level in the spring of 2005. Since then he is training and coaching in field hockey.
