Hans Coumans (19 March 1943 – 16 November 1986) was a Dutch painter active in the South Limburg region, Belgium and Germany.

In 1961 he joined the touring circus company Toni Boltini for six months, in which he worked as an elephant handler.

He started out as a landscape painter and portraitist, but he earned his living mainly with decorative art, often with the Heuvelland as subject, in dozens of catering companies in Valkenburg aan de Geul and the surrounding area.

His contemporaries worked on abstract and conceptual art, but Coumans painted outside the mainstream and was mainly inspired by nature.

His oeuvre includes landscapes, village scenes (cultural heritage), still lifes, quickly painted portraits and socially critical works.
