Luca Ghiotto (born 24 February 1995) is an Italian racing driver.
Born in Arzignano, Ghiotto entered karting in 2008, when he took the title in the KF3 class of the Champions Cup, before he finished fourth the following year. Ghiotto remained in the KF3 category until the end of 2010.
In 2011, Ghiotto made his début in single-seaters, taking part in the Formula Abarth series for Prema Powerteam. He finished ninth in the Italian Series standings with a single podium at Misano, while in the European Series he finished sixth with four podiums. He contested a sophomore campaign with the same team in 2012, improving to runner-up spots in both championships.
Ghiotto remained with Prema, as they moved to the 2-litre Formula Renault machinery to compete in the final rounds of Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and Formula Renault 2.0 NEC at the end of 2012. For 2013, Ghiotto had full-time campaigns in both Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, staying with Prema. He took a podium finish at Le Castellet, as well as a victory at Spa, and finished ninth in the final championship standings. In the Alps series, he scored five wins and finished as runner-up to team-mate Antonio Fuoco. Also he won the main race of the Formula Renault 2.0 Pau Trophy.
