Lucas Rodrigo Biglia (born 30 January 1986) is an Argentine footballer, currently playing for RSC Anderlecht.

He has been touted as one of the stars to watch out for in the 2010 World Cup. Biglia has been capped for the Argentina Under-20 team where he won the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship alongside Barcelona's star Lionel Messi

He is a player often compared to Andrea Pirlo due to the way he plays the game. Biglia has a good passing range, high positional sense and a calm head. The reason he chose Anderlecht instead of one of the bigger European teams is that he wanted a team that guarantees him first team football allied to the added bonus of playing in the UEFA Champions League, thus building a name for himself rather than sitting on the bench. As a result, he has been a regular fixture in the Anderlecht starting eleven, alongside 2007 Czech recruit Jan Polák.

Lucas Biglia was chosen as the best player of the season 06/07 by the Anderlecht fansFact|date=February 2008.
