Lothar van Gogh (7 February 1888 – 28 May 1945) was a Dutch footballer who played as a forward. He was part of the Netherlands national team, playing two matches and scoring two goals. He played his first match on 14 April 1907.[1]
Van Gogh was the son of Jeanette Louise Vos (1854–1906) and Johannes van Gogh (1854–1913), a coffee grower on Java who was a full cousin of Vincent van Gogh.
A civilian colonial administrator in the Dutch East Indies before capture by the occupying Japanese in World War II, Van Gogh died in one of the Japanese-run internment camps in Cimahi on Java. He was buried in Dutch War Cemetery Leuwigajah in Cimahi.[2]
