Arie van Lent (born August 31, 1970 in Opheusden, Netherlands) is a Dutch-German former footballer. Van Lent dreamed of being with Ajax Amsterdam in his youth, but spent almost his entire professional career as a journeyman in Germany, mostly on the bench of Werder Bremen or in second-division sides and below. Later, he became a Bundesliga-regular with Borussia Mönchengladbach. In 2004, van Lent joined the then-second division side Eintracht Frankfurt to become their vice captain and leading scorer (16 goals) in their promotion campaign. During the 2005-2006 season, van Lent lost his starting place to Ioannis Amanatidis.

He was most recently playing for Rot-Weiss Essen, where he had a contract until June 30, 2008. However, the contract was cancelled in December 2006.
