Lawrence Joseph Hogan (born September 30, 1928) was a Republican U.S. Congressman who represented the 5th congressional district of Maryland from January 3, 1969 to January 3, 1975. He later became county executive for Prince George's County, Maryland in 1978, serving until 1982.

Hogan was the only Republican on the House Judiciary Committee to vote for all three articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon when they were adopted in committee. Hogan famously said into the television cameras, "The thing that's so appalling to me is that the President, when this whole idea was suggested to him, didn't, in righteous indignation, rise up and say, 'Get out of here, you're in the office of the President of the United States. How can you talk about blackmail and bribery and keeping witnesses silent? This is the presidency of the United States.' But my President didn't do that. He sat there and he worked and worked to try to cover this thing up so it wouldn't come to light."

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Hogan attended Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. He received his Bachelor's degree from Georgetown University in 1947, J.D. from Georgetown in 1954, and was admitted to the Bar in the same year. He later was enrolled in graduate studies at San Francisco State College, 1956–1957, received a Master's degree from American University in 1965, and continued studies at the University of Maryland, 1966–1967.
