Matt Lucena (born August 4, 1969) is a former professional tennis player from the United States. He won the mixed doubles title at the 1995 US Open.
Lucena played tennis for UC Berkeley from 1988 to 1992. He and Doug Eisenman were NCAA doubles champions in 1990 and with a new partner, Bent-Ove Pedersen in 1991, Lucena went back to back. A three-time All-American, he didn't drop a set in either year.
The highlight of Lucena's professional career was winning the 1995 US Open mixed doubles title, partnering Meredith McGrath. Unseeded, the pair had never played together previously. He twice made the quarter-finals of the men's doubles at the US Open, in 1991 with his UC Berkeley teammate Pedersen and in 1993 with Brian MacPhie. He won one ATP Tour doubles title, at St. Poelten in 1995, as well as four ATP Challenger titles.
