Franciscus Ronaldus ("Ronald") Maria Jansen (born December 30, 1963 in Sint-Michielsgestel, Noord-Brabant) is a former field hockey goalkeeper from The Netherlands, who twice won the golden medal at the Summer Olympics.

He played a total number of 183 international matches for his native country, and made his debut on June 23, 1987 at the 1987 Champions Trophy in the match against Argentina. A year later he made his Olympic debut at the 1988 Summer Olympics, as a stand-in for first choice Frank Leistra, and won the bronze medal.

In the Dutch League Jansen played for Oranje Zwart and HC Den Bosch. He retired in the spring of 2000, just before the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Afterwards he became a hockey coach, first at his old club HC Den Bosch, later as an assistant of head coach Roelant Oltmans at the Men's National Team of Pakistan, which he guided during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
