Lloyd Bowen Koch (17 June 1931 – 16 April 2013) was a South African and Rhodesian cricketer and field hockey player.

Koch played first-class cricket for Rhodesia, Natal and Orange Free State between 1948 and 1961.[1] Aged 18, he twice played for a South African XI in first-class matches against the Australians in 1949–50, but with little success.[2] His highest first-class score was 216 not out for Orange Free State against Natal in the 1952–53 Currie Cup.[3]

Koch represented South Africa and Rhodesia at hockey. At the 1964 Summer Olympics he captained the Rhodesian hockey team and was Rhodesia's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.[4][5][6][7]
