Luca Bucci (born 13 March 1969 in Bologna) is a retired Italian football goalkeeper. Bucci played for several Italian clubs throughout his career; he is mostly remembered for his successful spell with Parma, where he won various domestic and European titles. At international level, he represented the Italy national football team, and was an unused member of the team that reached the 1994 FIFA World Cup Final, and a reserve goalkeeper for Italy at UEFA Euro 1996.
After a few years in the third and second levels (winning the 1992–93 Serie B title with AC Reggiana), Bucci made his Serie A debut playing for Parma F.C., in a league match against Udinese Calcio on 29 August 1993. He soon achieved prominence during a particularly successful stint with the club, winning an UEFA Supercup in 1993, and an UEFA Cup in 1995; he also received runners-up medals in the Coppa Italia, in the Cup Winners' Cup, and in Serie A with the club. At Parma, however, Bucci was soon overtaken by the emergence of 17-year-old Primavera keeper Gianluigi Buffon during the 1996–97 season, which moved Bucci to leave the team in order to play more regularly.
After playing six months for Perugia Calcio, Bucci joined second division's Torino F.C. in 1997, later gaining promotion to Serie A throughout his time with the Turin club after winning the 2000–01 Serie B title with the club, and remaining with the granata for six seasons, until his contract expired. He then decided to join Empoli F.C. However, he only managed to play in half of the games, while the club was eventually relegated, with Bucci leaving at the end of season.
