Luke Pritchard (born 2 March 1985) is an English musician. He is currently the lead vocalist and second guitarist of the indie band The Kooks, despite a speech impediment developed as a child. Pritchard was born in Lewisham, London and grew up in Clapham, London. His father, musician Bob Pritchard, died when Luke was four years old. He attended Northcote Lodge, Bedales School, the Brit School of Performing Arts and Technology, and Brighton Institute of Modern Music, where he formed The Kooks in 2003 along with bandmates Max Rafferty, Hugh Harris, and Paul Garred. He also met his future girlfriend Katie Melua there, about whom Luke Pritchard wrote much of the Kooks' first album. The relationship was often mocked in the media, notably by Simon Amstell on Popworld. The relationship ended in 2005.

Pritchard began his music career in a band called Covernote, along with his close friends Thomas Lightfoot, Brian Slade, and James Dampier and Ed Bartlett playing a number of covers and touring the local music scene of Camden, London. Luke Pritchard has said that he wants to bring music back to the pop world.

Luke usually plays a James Trussart Deluxe Steelcaster. His Acoustic Guitars include a Maton BG808L, A Maton EBG808TE and a Takamine EAN10C
