Albert Robert "Mick" Lomas (15 November 1894 — 24 March 1975) was a New Zealand international rugby union player active in the 1920s.{{cite news |title=Benefit Day |url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/THS19360911.2.9 |work=Thames Star |date=11 September 1936}}

A fisherman by trade, Lomas hailed from the town of Thames. His early career was interrupted by World War I, during which he served with the Auckland Mounted Rifles, before making his Auckland representative debut in 1920.{{cite web |title=Mick Lomas #310 |url=http://stats.allblacks.com/asp/profile.asp?ABID=505 |website=stats.allblacks.com}}

Lomas was a powerful hooker and won his maiden All Blacks call up as a 30-year old in 1925. He debuted in a match against Wellington, then took part in the 1925 tour of New South Wales, playing all three "internationals". New South Wales were the country's sole representative team at the time and Australia later awarded these matches Test status. He made another Australian tour with the All Blacks in 1926 and finished his career with 15 uncapped All Black appearances.{{cite web |title=Thames Valley rugby |url=https://nzhistory.govt.nz/culture/regional-rugby/thames-valley |website=nzhistory.govt.nz}}
