Luc Faatau (born 1959) is a French Polynesian politician and former Cabinet Minister. He is a member of the Tapura Huiraatira.

Faatau is a former delegate of the Polynesian Society of Authors, Composers and Music Publishers. He served as Minister of Lands in the 2004 cabinet of president Gaston Flosse, and later under Gaston Tong Sang.

In January 2017 he was appointed to the cabinet of Édouard Fritch as Minister of Equipment and Transport.
