Brian Lohan (born November 1971) is an Irish former hurler who played as a full-back for the Clare senior hurling team.
Lohan made his first appearance for the team during the 1992–93 National League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 2006 championship. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals and three Munster medals. He ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Lohan is a Munster medalist with Wolfe Tones na Sionna. In addition to this he has also won two county club championship medals.
Lohan also has a number of personal achievements. Regarded as one of the greatest full-backs of all-time, he was included in that position on the Munster Hurling Team of the Millennium in 2000. Almost a decade later in 2009 he was included at full-back on the Munster hurling team of the last twenty-five years. Lohan has also won four All-Star awards, a record for a Clare hurler, while he was also named All-Star Hurler of the Year in 1995.
His father, Gus Lohan and his brother Frank Lohan, also enjoyed successful hurling careers with Clare.
Lohan played his club hurling and Gaelic football with Wolfe Tones and enjoyed much success in a lengthy career.
In 1996 Wolfe Tones qualified for their very first championship decider. Clarecastle provided the opposition on that occasion, however, a 1–11 to 1–8 victory gave Lohan his first championship medal. Wolfe Tones later qualified for a provincial decider against Ballygunner. In one of the greatest club finals ever, Wolfe Tones triumphed by 4–9 to 4–8. It was Lohan's first Munster medal. Wolfe Tones later reached the All-Ireland decider with Athenry providing the opposition. A 0–14 to 1–8 defeat was Lohan's lot on that occasion.
