Larry John Loughlin (August 16, 1941 – January 26, 1999) was an American relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played briefly for the Philadelphia Phillies during the 1967 season. Listed at 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m), 190 pounds (86 kg), Loughlin batted and threw left-handed. He was born in Tacoma, Washington.

A star pitcher with the Santa Clara University baseball team, Loughlin played in the 1962 College World Series. He entered the major leagues in 1967 with the Phillies, appearing for them in three games. He posted a 15.19 ERA and did not have a decision or saves, giving up nine runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out five in 51⁄1 innings of work.

A double in his only MLB plate appearance left him with a rare career 1.000 batting average.

Following his majors career, Loughlin played in the California Angels and Montreal Expos minor league systems until 1970. After that, he worked as a mechanic in his native Tacoma.

Loughlin died in Denver, Colorado, at the age of 57.
