Luke Rowe (born 10 March 1990) is a British former racing cyclist from Wales, who rode professionally for Team Sky and its later iterations between 2012 and 2024. Largely deployed as a domestique during his professional career, Rowe took two wins – stage victories at the 2012 Tour of Britain and the 2017 Herald Sun Tour.

Rowe represented Wales at the Commonwealth Games at four consecutive Games between 2010 and 2022, and was also a team member of five consecutive Tour de France victories by Team Sky/Team Ineos riders between 2015 and 2019, which included him being the lanterne rouge of the 2017 Tour de France.

Following his retirement from the peloton in 2024, Rowe became a directeur sportif with UCI WorldTeam Decathlon–AG2R La Mondiale.
