Lucas Gabriel Vera (born 18 April 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Russian Premier League club Lokomotiv Moscow.

Career

Vera started his career with Lanús. He was moved into the club's first-team in September 2017, with manager Jorge Almirón selecting him to start in a home defeat to Boca Juniors; he was substituted off on fifty-five minutes for Lautaro Acosta. He played a part in three further fixtures in the 2017–18 Argentine Primera División campaign. On 23 August 2018, a month after featuring in the Copa Sudamericana for Lanús versus Atlético Junior, Vera was loaned by Primera B Metropolitana club All Boys.

On 21 July 2022, Vera joined Russian Premier League club Orenburg. Orenburg's director of sports Dmitri Andreyev confirmed that the transfer was permanent, not a loan as it was reported.

On 11 July 2024, Vera moved to Khimki.

On 3 July 2025 Al Wahda announced their signing with the Argentine.

On 17 December 2025, Vera returned to Russia and signed a two-and-a-half-season contract with Lokomotiv Moscow.

Personal life

Vera is the older brother of the footballer Matías Vera.
