Louis Deacon (born 7 October 1980 in Leicester) is an English rugby union footballer. He is a lock.

His playing career started as an eight year old, playing with Wigston, before joining Syston. He later joined Syston and as a Ratcliffe College student represented the Midlands county and both the England 16 Group and U18 Group School sides. He joined the Leicester Tigers Academy in the 1997-98 season and worked his way through the Tigers Youth, U21 and Extras teams.

Louis Deacon joined Leicester Tigers in 2000. He made his first team debut in August 2000 as a replacement against Cardiff and has established himself as a highly dependable player and equally at home at the front or middle of the line out.

He was called up to the England A squad in the 2002-03 season but injury forced him to withdraw.

Having lived in the shadow of the England pairing of Martin Johnson and Ben Kay for several seasons, he took the opportunity in 2003-04 to command a regular place during the World Cup. He made 23 appearances in all that season, and by the end he was being picked ahead of Kay.

In September 2003 he was named in the England National Academy Training squad. He was called up to the elite squad for the 2005/6 season and the 2006/07 season. For the 2007 Six Nations opener against Scotland Deacon started at lock under new head coach Brian Ashton. He continued in this position, throughout the first three games of the tournament, and came off the bench against France and Wales in the final two games of the tournament.
