Luc René Decker (born 3 March 1977 in Luxembourg City) is a Luxembourgian former swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events.[1] He represented his nation Luxembourg at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and held three Luxembourgian records in all butterfly distances (50, 100, and 200 m).[2]

Decker competed only in the men's 100 m butterfly at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He achieved a FINA B-cut of 55.93 from the European Long Course Meet in Luxembourg City.[3] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including Kyrgyzstan's Konstantin Ushkov, silver medalist for Russia in Atlanta four years earlier, and Uzbekistan's top favorite Ravil Nachaev. He raced to a fourth seed by almost a full second behind winner Nachaev in 56.10. Decker failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-seventh overall in the prelims.[4]

Since his retirement came after the Olympics, Decker completed his master of science degree in political economy at Paris-Sorbonne University, and later worked for investment promotion at the Ministry of the Economy and Foreign Trade in Luxembourg.[5] On 1 July 2013 Decker was appointed as the consul general for Luxembourg and an executive director of the Luxembourg Trade and Investment in Shanghai, China.[6]
