The H. J. Lovink Pumping Station (Dutch: Gemaal H. J. Lovink) is a pumping station in Biddinghuizen, a village in the municipality of Dronten, Flevoland, the Netherlands. Named for Hermanus Johannes Lovink, an agriculturist who was extensively involved in land reclamation, the station was designed by Dirk Roosenburg and completed in 1956. It was used for the reclamation of the eastern Flevopolder in 1957 and contributed to the reclamation of the island's southern areas. The station was designated a rijksmonument (national monument) on 13 December 2010.
