Francis Loughnane (born 1945) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a wing-forward for the Tipperary senior team.
Loughnane played his club hurling with Roscrea and enjoyed much success in a senior career that lasted more than twenty years.
In 1969 Roscrea retained the county championship title before Loughnane subsequently added a Munster club winners' medal to his collection.
Roscrea continued to be a major force in club hurling over the next decade with Loughnane winning further county championship titles in 1972, 1973 and 1980.
In a classic thriller, Loughnane scored 2-10 but ended on the losing side as a last minute Richie Bennis point gave Limerick a one-point win on a scoreline of 6–7 to 2–18.
