Cor Brom (27 August 1932 – 29 October 2008) was a Dutch football player and manager.

During his playing career, Brom played as a midfielder for VVA Amsterdam, BVC Amsterdam, BSV Limburgia, IJVV Stormvogels, VSV Velsen and Telstar.¹²

After retiring as a player, Brom managed Vitesse Arnhem from 1969 to 1972, Fortuna SC from 1972 to 1976,³⁴ Sparta Rotterdam from 1976 to 1978,⁵ Ajax from 1978 to 1979,⁶⁷ RWD Molenbeek from 1981 to 1982,⁸ and FC Zwolle from 1982 to 1984.

He was dismissed by Ajax's new chairman Ton Harmsen in 1979 after allegedly taking payments and gifts (a horse and the meat of a whole pig), meant for the players, from an amateur side who played Ajax in pre-season.⁹

Brom died in Amsterdam on 29 October 2008, of Parkinson's disease.¹⁰
