Lucas Fernández (c. 1474 - 1542) was a Spanish dramatist and musician.
He was educated at Salamanca, and was a professor of music there from 1522.
Lucas Fernández surviving work consists of six plays. Although showing the influence of his rival Juan del Encina, they are notable for their dialogue, humor, and the effective interleaving of song and music with the action of play. The best of the works is an Easter play Auto de la Pasión, while his Dialogo para cantar is an early example of the zarzuela.
