Old Loughtonians Hockey Club is a field hockey club based at the Roding Sports Centre, Luxborough Lane in Chigwell.

The club runs five men's and five women's teams in addition to a masters, mixed and junior team. The men's first X1 play in the East Men's Premier Division League and the women's first X1 play in the East Women's Hockey League.

The club was founded in 1921 after the Loughton Hockey Club had disbanded during World War I. The name Old Loughtonians referred to members of the Old Loughtonians, former pupils of Loughton School which opened in 1890. In 1963 the club opened its doors to all-comers following the demise of Old Buckwellians’ Hockey Club. Ladies teams were also created and in 1980 the club opened their new grounds at Luxborough Lane.
