Lance Ten Broeck (born March 21, 1956) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.

Ten Broeck was born in Chicago, and grew-up in Beverly, a community on the cities southwest side. He attended the University of Texas, and was a member of the golf team from 1975–1976. He was a two-time All-American and winner of the Massengill trophy in 1975. He turned pro in 1977.

Ten Broeck played in 349 PGA Tour events in his career making the cut 159 times including ten top-10 finishes. His best finish in an official PGA Tour event was a stand-alone 2nd at the 1991 Chattanooga Classic. His best finish in a major was a T-31 at the 1991 U.S. Open. He won the 1984 Magnolia State Classic before that tournament became an official PGA Tour event.

After his playing days were over, Ten Broeck began work as a caddie. His clients have included several big name players – notably Robert Allenby and Jesper Parnevik. Since Ten Broeck made more than 150 cuts in his career on the PGA Tour, he is exempt from qualifying, although near the bottom of the list in eligibility. He frequently commits to playing in events in which he is scheduled to caddie, just in case the unlikely happens and more players drop out than there are alternates at the course. He last played on the PGA Tour in 1998.^[1] He has earned more in his best season working as a caddie ($235,000) than in his best season as a player ($146,568 in 1989).

He lives on Singer Island in Palm Beach County, Florida.
