Luca Garri (born 3 January 1982) is an Italian former professional basketball player.

Garri moved to Don Bosco Livorno aged 15, loaned to Zucchetti Montecatini in 1999-00, he played for their youth team before returning to Livorno. He made his professional debut with Mabo Livorno (Don Dosco's parent club) during the 2000-01 season, in the second division Serie A2, helping the side earn a promotion. He then spent the next three seasons in the Serie A with the side.

After that successful spell, he signed a three-year deal with fellow Serie A side Lottomatica Roma, however he didn't manage to crack the first team and a mid-season transfer to Spanish side Etosa Alicante was nearly completed before it was scrapped following an injury to his substitute Vassil Evtimov.[1] He was loaned to Angelico Biella for 2005-06, refinding his form to average more than 11 points per game in leading Biella to the title playoffs.[2] He returned to Roma afterwards but his 2006-07 season with the side was no more successful than his first.

Garri then signed a three-year contract with Virtus Bologna in August 2007. After one season in Bologna, he returned to Biella in 2008 on another three-year deal, playing two more seasons with the club.[3]

In July 2010, he moved to Pepsi Caserta on a two-year deal.[4] After spending the 2011-12 season with Cimberio Varese, Garri returned to the second division (now LegaDue), spending three seasons with respectively Bitumcalor Trento, FMC and Sigma Basket Barcellona.

In June 2015, Garri joined Derthona Basket of the Serie A2 (second division).[5]
