Luluk Hadiyanto (born 8 June 1979 in Blora, Central Java) is a male badminton player from Indonesia, specialized in men's doubles and former world number one with doubles partner Alvent Yulianto.
"Lulu" as he is fondly called, was a member of badminton club PB Djarum. He was born in the small village of Pengkolrejo, in the district of Japah, Blora, Central Java. He was the first son of three siblings of the couple Edi Sunarto and Sulami, his parents both educators at a elementary school. His father encouraged both his sports career in Jakarta and his educational development in Solo. In 1999 he was finally accepted in the National Squad at the Pelatnas Cipayung.
His first big international success came in 2001 winning the Thailand Open with Sigit Budiarto. In partnership with fellow countryman Alvent Yulianto, Hadiyanto won four top tier international men's doubles titles in 2004; the Thailand, Korea, Singapore, and Indonesia Opens. They achieved a number one world ranking that year despite a disappointing 2004 Olympics which saw them eliminated in the round of 16. Since 2004 Hadiyanto and Yulianto have struggled to achieve top form. Second place finishes in the quadrennial Asian Games (2006); and the Japan (2007) and Korea (2008) Opens (now called Super Series events) have been their highest finishes in major international tournaments, though they won the Indonesian national title in 2007. In 2006 they also won a bronze medal at the Asian Badminton Championships in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
