Jeroen Petrus Maria Delmee (born March 8, 1973 in Boxtel, Noord-Brabant) is a field hockey player from The Netherlands, who twice became Olympic champion with the Dutch national squad: in 1996 and in 2000. The midfielder/defender made his debut on January 30, 1994 in a friendly against South Africa.
He earned his 300th cap on December 7, 2004 during the Champions Trophy tournament in Lahore, when Holland faced hosts Pakistan. Since 2000 he is the captain of the Dutch national side.
Delmee was nicknamed Delmis in his first year with the Men's National Team, after having missed a penalty stroke in the final of the 1994 Men's Hockey World Cup in Sydney, against Pakistan. He plays club hockey in Holland at HC Den Bosch, with whom he won the Dutch title twice: in 1998 and 2001. Delmee's nephew Sander van der Weide is also a Dutch field hockey international.
