Luxomni (Latin, meaning "light [for] all") was a small community between central and southwestern Gwinnett County, Georgia, on a railroad line just east-northeast of Lilburn. It was founded in 1891 around a rail depot, on the line to Lawrenceville, the county seat. The town has largely been absorbed into Lilburn and greater Gwinnett County, and is no longer part of the local vernacular.

It had its own post office, a Masonic lodge, a general store, and a Baptist church. Luxomni Baptist Church, founded in 1895, is still active today. The decaying ruins of the general store can still be found standing near the corner of Luxomni Road and Arcado Road, next to the church.

Luxomni Road continues to be its primary identifier.

According to the USGS GNIS, Luxomni was centered at 33°53'46"N, 84°06'58"W (33.8962148, -84.1163038).
