Oliver "Oli" Ocol Lozano (May 13, 1940 – April 12, 2018) was a Filipino lawyer who was the legal counsel of the Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos. In 1986, Lozano participated in a coup attempt against President Corazon Aquino at the Manila Hotel. In 2001, Lozano attempted to lead pro-Joseph Estrada rallies against his ouster as president during EDSA II, and after Estrada's arrest, he participated in EDSA III protests that led to an attempt by a mob of Estrada supporters to storm Malacañang Palace.
Born in Ilocos Norte, he attempted to run for the Senate under the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan in 2004 and 2007, but lost both times. He filed six impeachment complaints against Gloria Macapagal Arroyo: one in 2000 during her vice presidency, and five from 2005 to 2008 amidst the Hello Garci scandal during her presidency. He also filed two impeachment complaints against president Noynoy Aquino and one against Chief Justice Renato Corona, although in 2017 he denounced the impeachment complaint filed against president Rodrigo Duterte.
