Luč (, , ) is a settlement in the Petlovac municipality of Osijek-Baranja County in the region of Baranya, Croatia. The population was 322 people in 2011.
Until the end of World War II the most inhabitants were German Danube Swabians, also known locally as Stifolder because their ancestors arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries from Fulda (district). Most of them were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1945–1948 under the Potsdam Agreement.
