Johnny Hoogerland (born 13 May 1983) is a Dutch former professional cyclist, who rode professionally between 2004 and 2016 for the Van Hermet–Eurogifts, Jartazi–7Mobile, Van Vliet–EBH Elshof, Vacansoleil–DCM, Androni Giocattoli–Venezuela and Roompot–Oranje Peloton squads.
Due to the prominent bull-tattoo on his arm and his roots from the peninsula of Zuid-Beveland he is nicknamed the "Bull of Beveland". He had a reputation of being an aggressive rider who took part in long breakaways. His most notable victory was the overall classification of the Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen in 2009, where he also won a stage.
Maintaining his love of the sport, post retirement, Hoogerland participated in the first UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Scotland in 2023, as part of the inaugural UCI Cycling World Championships. Riding in the men's 40-44 years age class, Hoogerland won his career first rainbow jersey in the Gran Fondo road race.
