Cornelius Cecil Lucid (February 24, 1874 – June 25, 1931) was a 19th-century Irish born Major League Baseball pitcher and coach. He played from 1893 to 1897 in the National League.

Lucid's minor league baseball career spanned the period of 1890 to 1906. In addition to pitching as he had done in the Major Leagues, he also occasionally played outfielder as well. His two best seasons in the minor leagues were 1896 and 1904. In 1896 with three different teams, he had a record of 12–2 with an earned run average of 2.48 in 16 games. In 1904, he had a record of 13–8 in 21 games with the Pine Bluff Lumbermen.

Lucid managed and played for the Temple Boll Weevils of the Texas League during the entirety of the 1905 season and part of the 1906 season.{{cite book|last1=Hanzelka|first1=Kris Rutherford; foreword by Scott|title=Baseball on the prairie : how seven small-town teams shaped Texas League history|date=2014|publisher=The History Press|isbn=9781609499358|pages=131–32}}{{cite web|title=Con Lucid Minor Leaguer Statistics & History|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=lucid-001con|website=Baseball-Reference|publisher=Sports Reference LLC|accessdate=3 April 2015}}
