Lance Earl Deal (born August 21, 1961 in Riverton, Wyoming) is a former American athlete who won a silver medal in the hammer throw in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. He also competed in the 1988, 1992, and 2000 Summer Olympics. Later in the season, he threw 82.52 m (270 ft 8+3⁄4 in) to win the IAAF Grand Prix Final. 24 years later, in 2020, that throw was ratified as the American Masters M35 record. That mark would also be a World Record if it ever ratified by WMA.
