Lohmar (German pronunciation: [ˈloːmaʁ] ; Ripuarian: Luhme) is a municipality and a town in the Rhein-Sieg district, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Lohmar is located about 20 km east of Cologne and 15 km north-east of Bonn in the Bergisches Land area. Because it is only 20 minutes by car to Cologne or Bonn, Lohmar is a popular place for commuters.
