Luca Fieschi[1] (c. 1275 – 31 January 1336) was a Genoese nobleman and Roman Catholic cardinal from 1300.
A member of the Fieschi family and a relative of the Plantagenets, he held benefices in England and Italy. Although politically a Guelph, he was chosen to be a part of the papal delegation that accompanied Henry VII of Germany in Italy in 1311–1312. In 1317–1318, he was part of a legation to England and Scotland that failed to end the Anglo-Scottish war. His later years were spent in Avignon, where he amassed great wealth and a large household.
- ^ Middleton 1918, p. 15, gives his name in Latin as Lucas de Flisco, but anglicizes it as Luke.
