Lucas Rodrigo Biglia (born 30 January 1986) is an Argentine football midfielder, currently plays for RSC Anderlecht.

He has been touted as one of the stars to watch out for in the 2010 world cup. This is quite a statement given the strength and depth that the national team has in the central midfield positions but he has all the skills required to achieve this.

He is a player very much in the Andrea Pirlo mold and one of his main problems could be that he lacks a combative edge of players like Mascherano. He has a good passing range and positional sense and appears to have a good head on his shoulders as the reason he chose the unfashionable Anderlecht instead of one of European big teams is he wants to get games and build a name for himself rather than sitting on the bench.

He has been capped for Argentina youth team, and won the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.
