Luc Nicolae Deacu (born August 13, 1990 in Calarasi) is a Romanian football player who evolved at FC Dinamo Bucuresti's youth/reserve team in Bucharest, Romania from February 23 2002 to August 22 2005 . Deacu received his first call up to Romania's U17 side during a friendly with the team's Spanish counterparts. He has since been called up five more times by now promoted coach Victor Piturca. Luc's career highlights include a goal against Finland U17 and a brace against Denmark U17, both in 2005. Most memorable and a topic of heated debate in the Romanian media was a controversial penalty kick taken by Deacu against Poland's U17 side. The miss saw Romania bow out early after an incredible effort by the youngsters, Deacu was used as a scapegoat by the Romanian media and has yet to play another match for the national side.

After receiving his 6th call up against Poland U17 in June of 2005, Luc left Dinamo Bucuresti and is said to be applying his trade overseas. He has become inactive in Romania's U17 and U21 teams since.
