Ihor Viktorovych Lutsenko (Ukrainian: І́гор Ві́кторович Луце́нко; born 10 November 1978)[2] is a Ukrainian journalist and politician.

Lutsenko took part in the Euromaidan protests in Kyiv. In January 2014, he was abducted and beaten along with Yuriy Verbytsky who died.[3][4]

In 2014, he was elected to the Verkhovna Rada on the party list of Batkivshchyna.[2] But in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election he lost reelection for this party in constituency 154 (Rivne Oblast).[5] In October 2019 Lutsenko became an adviser of the Mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko.[6]
