Per Håkan Loob (born 3 July 1960) is a retired Swedish professional ice hockey player who is currently the president of hockey operations of Färjestads BK in the Swedish Elitserien (SEL), for whom he played much of his playing career.

Loob played right wing for the Calgary Flames from 1983 to 1989. In the 1989 playoffs Loob was very strong offensively and defensively, a major factor in Calgary's only Stanley Cup. He then returned to his Swedish team, Färjestads BK in Karlstad, where he was a star player until his retirement in 1996. He is one of very few ice hockey players who have won the Stanley Cup, an Olympic gold medal, and a World Championship title, being one of that group's 3 first members along with Tomas Jonsson and Mats Näslund. He has also won the Swedish championship, in 1981 with Färjestad. He is now the President ("klubbdirektör") of Färjestad. The Swedish Elite League has in honour of him introduced the Håkan Loob Trophy for the leading goal scorer in the league each season.

He holds the records for most goals (42) and most points (76) during a regular season in the Swedish Elitserien, both set in 36 games in 1982–83. He is also the only Swedish player who has scored 50 goals or more in one season in the NHL.

Loob's older brother Peter is also a former ice hockey player, and played briefly in the NHL and the AHL.
