Francis Loughnane (born 1945) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a wing-forward for the Tipperary senior team.
Loughnane made his first appearance for the team during the 1968 championship and became a regular player over the course of the following decade. During that time he won one All-Ireland winner's medal, one Munster winner's medal, one National League winner's medal and three All-Star awards.
At club level, Loughnane is an All-Ireland medalist with Roscrea. In addition to this he has also won two Munster club winners' medals and six county championship winners' medals.
Loughnane played his club hurling with Roscrea and enjoyed much success in a senior career that lasted more than twenty years.
He won his first county championship winners' medal in 1968, beginning a great era of success for the club.
In 1969 Roscrea retained the county championship title before Loughnane subsequently added a Munster club winners' medal to his collection.
A second set of county and provincial titles were annexed by Roscrea in 1970. Loughnane later lined out in the inaugural All-Ireland club final with St. Rynagh's providing the opposition. A 4-5 to 2-5 victory gave him an All-Ireland club winners' medal.
