Jos Hoevenaers (Antwerpen, November 30, 1932 - Wilrijk, June 14, 1995) was a Belgian cyclist. He was a genuine attacker.

In 1960 he wore the pink jersey for 8 days in the Giro d'Italia, but Jacques Anquetil captured the first place and won the Giro instead. Bad luck, and the fact that his time trial and sprinting were not enough, prevented him from becoming the best Belgian Tour rider of his generation.
