Lauren Duca is an American writer who is currently the weekend editor for Teen Vogue, and has contributed to Vice, Complex, New York Magazine, Brooklyn Magazine, Pacific Standard, The Nation, and The New Yorker.

In 2015, Duca won the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Award for best film, television or theater feature for her Huffington Post piece, "The Rise of the Woman-Child."

In December 2016, Duca drew attention for an op-ed in Teen Vogue which argued that then President-elect Donald Trump relied on deceit to undermine the truth so his critics would question their own judgment, titled "Donald Trump is Gaslighting America." As of December 23, 2016, the essay had been viewed 1.2 million times, becoming the magazine's most-viewed post. Katie Mettler of The Washington Post said, "[T]he Internet lit up with praise for [Duca's] 'scorched-earth' op-ed."

Duca appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on December 23, 2016. In the heated exchange over Duca's commentary on Ivanka Trump, Duca criticized host Tucker Carlson for not allowing her to speak and called Carlson a "partisan hack"; in response he told her that instead of political commentary, she "should stick to the thigh-high boots." An online harassment campaign of Duca followed, including threats of sexual assault.

In January 2017, Twitter suspended the account of Martin Shkreli for posting a doctored photo of Duca on his account.
