Luca Bucci (born March 13, 1969 in Bologna) is a former Italian football goalkeeper.

After a few years in some minor leagues, such as Serie C1 and Serie B, Bucci made his Serie A debut, playing for Parma in a league match against Udinese on August 29, 1993. The next year, he was first capped for the Italy national football team, and he was part of the "azzurri" as third goalkeeper for the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States.

At Parma, Bucci was however later overtaken by 17-year-old "Primavera" keeper Gianluigi Buffon, and he then decided to leave the team in order to play more regularly. After playing six months for Perugia, Bucci joined Serie B team Torino in 1997. Bucci played for the "granata" until 2003, when his contract expired and he decided to join Empoli. However, in Empoli he was not able to play at his best, and he even became a reserve in the end, leaving the team at the end of the 2003–04 season.

After six months of inactivity, Bucci moved back to Parma in January 2005 to replace Gianluca Berti who left for Torino F.C., initially as a reserve goalkeeper.
