Nathan Lonie is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
The identical twin brother of Collingwood player Ryan Lonie, the two Lonies not only share identical looks but share very similar footballing characteristics - possessing long kicking abilities and playing a "receiver" role relying on uncontested possessions across the half-back line.
