Luke Walsh (born 12 May 1987) is an Australian professional rugby league player for the Newcastle Knights in the National Rugby League (NRL) competition. His position of choice is at halfback.

Luke Walsh came to prominence at Newcastle after the retirement of legendary player Andrew Johns and injuries to Jarrod Mullen during the 2007 season.[2] Although hampered by an ankle injury which kept him out of premier league,[3] Walsh was able to make his debut at halfback in round 12 against the Sydney Roosters. Walsh underwent surgery on his ankle at the end of the season.[4]
