Lucchini RS S.p.A. (formerly Lucchini Sidermeccanica S.p.A. and where the acronym "RS" stands for "rolling stock") is an Italian company, fully owned by the Lucchini family through a financial holding called Sinpar S.p.A. and divided from Gruppo Lucchini, which was under Russian control of Alexei Mordashov and Severstal from 2005 till 2007. In 2008 the Lucchini family took back the control of Lucchini RS.

Lucchini RS specialises in steel products such as railways products, steel casting, forgings, tool steels and forge ingots.

The company headquarters is in Brescia, but the main plant is located in Lovere Bergamo on the west shore of Iseo Lake: the plant covers an area of 237,000 sqm including 147,000 sqm of factory buildings.
