Luca Banchi (born August 1, 1965) is an Italian professional basketball coach. He most recently served as a head coach of Emporio Armani Milano.
Banchi started to coach in the youth teams of Basketball Grosseto, after which he was an assistant coach for the Armed Forces Vigna di Valle and Affrico Firenze. Between 1987 and 1999, he coached the junior teams of Livorno, winning three consecutive youth national titles in the period from 1995–1997.
He was then promoted to head coach of Basket Livorno in the Italian second-tier level Serie A2. In 1999, he made his debut on the bench of Pall Trieste for two years, before returning to Livorno, that was meanwhile promoted to the Italian top-tier level LBA. He followed that up with two stops in the Italian 2nd Division in Trapani and Aurora Basket Jesi.
In 2006, he became the assistant coach of Montepaschi Siena, under head coach Simone Pianigiani. As an assistant with Montepaschi, he won six 6 Italian League championships in a row (2007–2012), five Italian Super Cups (2007–2011), and four Italian Cups (2009–2012). In June 2012, he took over the role of head coach of Montepaschi Siena, following the departure of Simone Pianigiani to Fenerbahçe. On February 10, 2013, he won the Italian Cup, after defeating Pallacanestro Varese, by a score of 77–74 in the final game. On June 19, 2013, he also won his first Italian League championship as a head coach.
