Luke David Sutton (born October 4, 1976 in Keynsham) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper. He won the NBC Denis Compton Award in 2000, 2001 and 2002 and has also played List A and Twenty20 cricket.

He was given the task of captain of the Derbyshire side after Dominic Cork moved to Lancashire and Michael Di Venuto moved back to Australia due to an injured back. Sutton kept wicket for the Derbyshire side and provided solid middle-order batsmanship, but later he too moved to Lancashire.

Prior to playing for Derbyshire, Sutton also played for Somerset in 1997 and 1998. He signed for Lancashire in 2006 as a replacement for Warren Hegg. On 9th August 2006, Sutton recorded his first century for Lancashire in the Roses match against Yorkshire, accumulating an unbeaten 151. This is a record as the highest scoring wicket keeper in a Roses match.

He recently got engaged to his fiancée, Jude Hughes.
