Luca Lanotte (born 30 July 1985) is an Italian ice dancer. With partner Anna Cappellini, he is the 2014 World champion, the 2014 European champion, the 2015 Cup of China champion and a thirteen-time medalist on the Grand Prix series, and a six-time Italian national champion (2012–17).

Luca Lanotte was born on 30 July 1985 in Milan, Italy. His sister, Ada, competed in synchronized skating. In 2008, he became a member of the Polizia Penitenziaria's sports group, the Fiamme Azzurre. He is engaged to British-French ice dancer Eve Bentley.

Luca Lanotte started skating at the age of seven and switched from singles to ice dance when he was ten. He skated with Adriana Jovino, Camilla Spelta, and Camilla Pistorello, placing ninth at Junior Worlds with Pistorello.

Lanotte was partnered with Anna Cappellini in May 2005 by the Italian skating federation. Following a strong season together on the junior circuit, Cappellini/Lanotte made their senior debut in 2006–07. They finished 8th at their first Europeans. Before their next event, Worlds, Cappellini suffered a torn labrum in her left shoulder. In the free dance at Worlds, they fell during a lift and finished 13th.

In 2007–08, Cappellini/Lanotte won their first Grand Prix medal, a silver at Skate Canada, moved up to seventh at Europeans, and finished in the top ten at Worlds.
