Luke Romano (born 16 February 1986) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer who plays as a lock for the Crusaders in Super Rugby and Canterbury in the ITM Cup. He is a key member of 2015 Rugby World Cup winning team.
Romano is a New Zealand international, making his debut on 23 June 2012 in a 60–0 win against Ireland in Hamilton. He currently has 25 caps and has scored 2 tries. He is of Italian descent.
Romano was a regular starter for the early stages of his international career, but missed many opportunities to play through injuries which saw his starting spot taken by Brodie Retallick.
Romano was not selected for New Zealand's 2016 end of year tour due to the death of a relative which saw him return home. Romano returned to rugby for the 2017 Brisbane Tens where he continued playing for the Crusaders.
