Johannes Hermanus "Han" ten Broeke (born 2 March 1969) is a Dutch politician who served as a member of the House of Representatives from 30 November 2006 until 4 September 2018. A member of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie, VVD), he focused his parliamentary work on matters of foreign policy and the Armed forces of the Netherlands.

After winning a parliamentary seat in the general election of 2006 he was reelected in 2010, 2012 and 2017.
