Hirving Rodrigo Lozano Bahena (born 30 July 1995) is a Mexican footballer who plays as a winger for Liga MX club Pachuca and the Mexico national team.

He is popularly referred to by his nickname Chucky.

Hirving Lozano joined Pachuca in 2009 as part of its youth team. On 8 February 2014, Lozano made his Liga MX debut against Club América, in which he scored five minutes after his substitution in the 1–0 win at the Estadio Azteca. In his debut tournament with the first team – the Clausura 2014 – Lozano finished runner-up with Pachuca, even scoring the third goal in the 3–2 first leg final win over León.

Pachuca won the league title after they defeated Monterrey 2–1 on aggregate in the finals of the Clausura 2016 tournament.

Lozano was called up to the under-20 national team which participated in the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship. In the first game against Cuba, he scored a brace and added 4 assists in Mexico's 9–1 win, placing them first in their group. He went on to score 3 more goals and notched another assist in the tournament. He finished as the Golden Boot winner with 5 goals, tied with United States midfielder Romain Gall. Mexico went on to win the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship, the 13th title for the country, and earned a berth under-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
