Sylvester "Hooks" Foreman (August 4, 1895 – August 23, 1940) was an American baseball catcher in the Negro leagues. He played from 1921 to 1933, playing with several teams.

Foreman initially made the rolls and is listed on reserve lists with the Kansas City Monarchs from 1920 to 1924, but usually played for owner J. L. Wilkinson's barnstorming team All Nations during those years, following and often catching for John Donaldson. He would continue to work with Donaldson and other top Negro league pitchers after that, playing in Bertha, Minnesota, Little Falls, Minnesota, and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Foreman is buried in Coffeyville, Kansas.
