Nathan Lonie (born March 4, 1983) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
The identical twin brother of Collingwood player Ryan Lonie, the two Lonies not only share identical looks but share very similar footballing characteristics - possessing long kicking abilities (over 55 metres) and playing a "receiver" role relying on uncontested possession across the half-back line.
He debuted with the Hawthorn Football Club midway through the 2001 season, but was not recalled til round 20, where he then held his spot for the finals series.
After 64 games with the Hawks, Lonie was traded to Port Adelaide, where he became a regular first-team player.
