Jacques Brinkman (born on August 26, 1966 in Utrecht) is a former Dutch field hockey player, who twice won the golden medal with the national squad: at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and four years later, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. There he played his last international tournament for the Dutch, after more than thirteen years.
Brinkman made his debut on May 1, 1987 in a friendly match against West-Germany. Since then the midfielder played 337 international matches for Holland, in which he scored 84 goals. That record makes him Holland's record holder. Brinkman surpassed record holder Cees Jan Diepeveen in 1998. He won the world title in 1990 and 1998, and also the annual Champions Trophy (1996, 1998 and 2000). In the Dutch League he played for Kampong, Amsterdam and SCHC. Since the summer of 2003 he is working as head coach with the former club from Bilthoven.
