Luke Sullivan (Japanese: ルーク・サリバン, Hepburn: Rūku Sariban) is a character from Capcom's Street Fighter fighting game series, first introduced in the 2016 video game Street Fighter V as the final downloadable content from 2021. The story reveals that Luke is an orphan who joined the military following the death of his father Robert in a terrorist attack. Following multiple years of training, Luke quits as he faces his trauma, becoming an older and more easygoing fighter in the sequel Street Fighter 6 as a teacher. He is voiced by Aleks Le in English and Tomoaki Maeno in Japanese.

Luke was created by Capcom as the final Street Fighter V DLC, being conceptualized as a new type of hero from the franchise, taking after former lead Ryu. Despite the developers' intentions, Luke's character was mostly received with negative response in Street Fighter V for not feeling as appealing as other fighters. His return in Street Fighter 6 also received mixed responses from game journalists and fans as a result of his energetic personality not fitting for an adult.
