Hugo Hermanus Hovenkamp (born 5 October 1950) is a Dutch former professional footballer, who played as a left-back. Most notably, he played for Eredivisie club AZ '67 in the late 1970s and early 1980s, where he won the 1980–81 championship, as well as three KNVB Cups.

Hovenkamp made his international debut for Netherlands in a 2:0 win in February 1977 against England. Hovenkamp was forced to withdraw from the 1978 World Cup squad due to injury, but as the deadline for calling up replacement players had passed, the Netherlands were unable to replace him. He did play in the 1980 European Championships, and played his final international (a 1–0 loss to Spain) in a qualifier for the 1984 European Championship. He obtained 31 caps, scoring 2 goals.[1]
