Hans Vonk (born January 30, 1970 in Alberton) is a South African professional football goalkeeper of Dutch parentage who plays for the Eredivisie side AFC Ajax. He has earned 43 caps for the South African national team since May 1998. He was their goalkeeper at the 1998 FIFA World Cup as well as an unused substitute for Andre Arendse at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

In the summer of 2004 he left SC Heerenveen to become third-choice goalkeeper for Ajax behind Maarten Stekelenburg and Bogdan Lobont. In the summer of 2006, he signed a two year deal with Ajax Cape Town. He was terminated from his contract after a conflict with the coach of Ajax Cape Town. He then became a free agent. Ajax singed him due to injury of current goalies Maarten Stekelenburg and Dennis Gentenaar, leaving the Amsterdam club with only 1 professional goalkeeper: Kenneth Vermeer.
