Liselotte Maria "Lotta" Neumann (born 20 May 1966) is a Swedish professional golfer.
Born in Finspång, Sweden, Neumann had a successful amateur career. She was Swedish Amateur champion in 1982–83 and Swedish Match Play champion in 1983. Neumann played for Sweden in the European Team Championship in 1984 and the Espirito Santo Trophy in 1982 and 1984. She turned professional at the start of 1985.
Neumann became a member of the LPGA Tour in 1988 after she qualified by tying for fourth at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament in late 1987. She won that year's U.S. Women's Open and was declared Rookie of the Year. In total she has won thirteen times on the LPGA Tour. The 1988 U.S. Women's Open remains her only LPGA major, but she won the Women's British Open in 1994, when it was recognised as a major championship by the Ladies European Tour, but not by the LPGA Tour. Her best finish on the LPGA Tour money list is third in 1994, and she also came in the top ten in the money list in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Throughout her career she has played on the Ladies European Tour each season, as well as in Asia. In 1994 she topped the European Order of Merit, was voted Golf World's Most Improved Golfer and Swedish Golfer of the Year.
Neumann played for Europe in the Solheim Cup in 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2000. She captained the team to victory in 2013 in Colorado, the first time Europe had won the cup on foreign soil, and the first time Europe won consecutive cups. Neumann won the Women's World Cup of Golf for Sweden in 2006 with Annika Sörenstam. She also earned Life Membership of the LET, a feat achieved by six other golfers.
