Ludovic "Ludo" Lacroix is a French motor racing engineer currently engineering Scott McLaughlin's DJR Team Penske Ford FG X Falcon in the Supercars Championship.

Lacroix began his career in 1988 in France, and afterwards had stints in British Touring Car Championship and DTM. He joined Triple Eight Racing in England in 1999. In 2002, Lacroix was the race engineer for Laurent Aïello in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters. Aïello would go on to win seven races and the championship for Abt Sportsline in that season.

Lacroix moved to Australia in 2003 to join the then-Australian offshoot, Triple Eight Race Engineering as a technical director and head of the engineering department.

In 2008, Lacroix designed the aerodynamics for the new Ford FG Falcon raced by Triple Eight.

At the 2013 Bathurst 1000, Lacroix engineered a Triple Eight wildcard entry #10 Holden VF Commodore driven by Mattias Ekström and Andy Priaulx debuting a new engine design which would be later installed in the team's other cars.

In 2016, he engineered the #888 Holden VF Commodore driven by Craig Lowndes. After announcing his impending departure part-way through the season, he was replaced in this role by John McGregor.
