Arthur John "Jack" Lohwater (October 20, 1922 - June 10, 1982) was an American mathematician.

He obtained a Ph.D. in mathematics at University of Rochester (1951), on the dissertation The Boundary Values of a Class of Analytic Functions, advised by Wladimir Seidel.[1] Later he joined the faculty at University of Michigan and Case Western Reserve University. He was editor of Mathematical Reviews (1962–65).[2] With Norman Steenrod and Sydney Gould he established important ties with Russian mathematicians, beginning with conferences in Moscow (1956, 58) and resulting in a dictionary. Lohwater died after a long battle with lung cancer.[3] He was married to the mathematician Marjorie White Lohwater (1925–2007).[4]
