Luchi Gonzalez (born July 14, 1980 in Hialeah, Florida) is an American soccer player, who currently plays striker for the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.

Gonzalez played four years of college soccer at Southern Methodist University, emerging in 2001, his senior season, to win the Hermann Trophy as college soccer's best player.

Upon graduating, Gonzalez was drafted 6th overall in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft by the San Jose Earthquakes. Gonzalez failed to make a mark with the Earthquakes, however, playing only 47 minutes in his rookie season, and in the offseason, was acquired by the Columbus Crew. Gonzalez failed to make the Crew's roster, and left the United States for Sweden, where he signed with second division club Bodens BK. Gonzalez did not make much of an impact with Bodens, either, and left at the end of their 2003 season. Gonzalez found a job with the major Peruvian Sporting Cristal, where he was acquired to be a backup striker. Although he has not played a prominent role with the club, Gonzalez has appeared in the prestigious Copa Libertadores tournament. He came back to MLS in 2005, signing with Colorado.
