Luke Priddis (born 14 April 1977 in Dubbo, New South Wales) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s, and 2000s. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative hooker, he played club football in the National Rugby League for the Canberra Raiders, Brisbane Broncos (with whom he won the 2000 NRL Premiership) and Penrith Panthers (with whom he won the 2003 NRL Premiership and Clive Churchill Medal) and, finally, the St. George Illawarra Dragons.
A Woden Valley Rams junior, Priddis started his career with the Canberra Raiders, winning the club's rookie of the year award in his debut season. He was selected to represent New South Wales in the Super League Tri-series and also Australia in the post-season Trans-Tasman Super League test match. He later moved to the Brisbane Broncos and played at hooker in the club's 2000 NRL grand final victory over the Sydney Roosters. Having won the 2000 NRL Premiership, the Broncos traveled to England to play against 2000's Super League V Champions, St Helens R.F.C. for the 2001 World Club Challenge, with Priddis playing at hooker in Brisbane's loss.
