Gregory Michael "The Bull" Luzinski (born November 22, 1950) is a former left fielder in Major League Baseball.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, he attended Notre Dame High School in Niles, Illinois. Luzinski spent the majority of his career with the Philadelphia Phillies (1970–1980), and retired as a member of the Chicago White Sox (1981–1984).

At 6'1' and 245 pounds, Luzinski was a well-liked member of the Phillies and a prototypical slugger. He was a career .276 hitter with 307 home runs and 1,128 RBIs. He was selected an All-Star between 1975 and 1978.

Still a fan favorite in Philadelphia, he opened "Bull's Barbecue" in the Phillies' newly opened stadium, Citizens Bank Park.
