Germán Darío Lux (born 7 June 1982) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Deportivo de La Coruña as a goalkeeper.
After starting out at River Plate, he spent most of his career in Spain with Mallorca and Deportivo.
Lux was born in Carcarañá, Santa Fe Province. Nicknamed Poroto, he joined Club Atlético River Plate's youth ranks aged 16, and made his first division debuts in 2001. Shortly after, he became first-choice.
In the 2006 Apertura, Lux lost his job to emergent talent Juan Pablo Carrizo and, a few months after, was cut from the squad by coach Daniel Passarella. In the beginning of the year he also lost his brother, who committed suicide.
Lux signed a four-year deal with RCD Mallorca for the 2007–08 season, as a backup to youth graduate Miguel Ángel Moyà, but benefitted from an injury to the latter to appear in ten La Liga games during the campaign. In his second year, the same occurred: Moyà was again downed with physical problems and Lux was promoted to starter, but lost his job in January 2009 with the signing of Dudu Aouate from Deportivo de La Coruña.
In the following two seasons, Lux was almost exclusively restricted to Copa del Rey matches with Mallorca, only amassing five league appearances combined. The same fate befell him in his next club, Deportivo La Coruña, where he played second-fiddle to Daniel Aranzubia.
