Robin Lathouwers (born 9 March 2000) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a right-back for club Koninklijke HFC.

Club career AZ Lathouwers started playing football in the youth ranks of SV Rap and later AZ, where he in 2017 secured a contract until 2020. He made his professional debut on 22 December 2019 for the reserve team, Jong AZ, in a 3–1 away loss against Telstar in the Eerste Divisie. He replaced Anton Fase in the 70th minute. However, due to a long-term injury, this remained his sole appearance that season. During the 2020–21 season, he featured in 13 league matches, impressing the club management to earn a new contract until 2022 with an option for an additional year.

On 18 March 2022, Lathouwers scored his first professional goal, securing a crucial 1–0 away win against Jong Utrecht. His consistent performances made him a key player for Jong AZ, and he even made his unofficial debut for AZ's first team during the 2022–23 preseason, competing with Yukinari Sugawara and Pantelis Chatzidiakos for a spot.

VVV-Venlo In January 2023, Lathouwers joined VVV-Venlo, reuniting with former teammates Sem Dirks and Richard Sedláček. Signing a contract until 2025 with an option for an additional year, he made his debut for VVV-Venlo on 11 January 2023, coming on as a substitute for Simon Janssen in the 76th minute during a 3–2 loss to Emmen in the KNVB Cup.

He remained with the club through the 2024–25 season. Upon the expiry of his contract, VVV-Venlo opted not to renew, and Lathouwers left the club as a free agent.

Koninklijke HFC In January 2026, after six months as a free agent, Lathouwers signed a six-month contract with Koninklijke HFC, an amateur club in the third-tier Tweede Divisie.
