A lubricant applicator for a ball hitch includes a diaphragm assembly, a hollow support structure, and preferably, a removable cover. The diaphragm assembly includes a diaphragm member and may also include a peripheral sidewall. The diaphragm member has a non-permeable top surface having an inner facing surface and an outer facing surface. A central region of the inner facing surface is coated with lubricant that is releasable from the inner facing surface when pressed against an external surface and, optionally, rotated slightly. The hollow support structure has a peripheral sidewall. The diaphragm assembly is positionally secured within the hollow support structure to provide a unitary structure. The lubricant-coated central region of the diaphragm member is configured to deform and partially encapsulate at least an upper portion of the ball hitch when the lubricant applicator is centered over the ball hitch and pressed down over the ball hitch to allow release and transfer of at least a portion of the lubricant from the inner facing surface of the diaphragm member to the at least upper portion of the ball hitch.
