Luke O'Sullivan (born 28 March 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).

Nicknamed Rhino, O'Sullivan played mostly as a half forward and made his league debut in 1988 after serving his apprenticeship in the Under-19s.

O'Sullivan, who came originally from Xavier College in Kew, had an injury plagued career but put in some good performances in 1992 to kick 21 goals.{{cite web|url=http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/L/Luke_OSullivan.html| title=Luke O'Sullivan| publisher=AFL Tables}} He missed the entire 1993 AFL season due to a knee injury, sustained when some turf controversially gave way at Waverley Park.{{cite book|last1=Holmesby|first1=Russell|last2=Main|first2=Jim|title=The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers| publisher=BAS Publishing|year=2007|isbn=978-1-920910-78-5}} The following year he made just two appearances, one of which was a semi final and played six times in Carlton's 1995 premiership winning season. After playing just once in 1996, O'Sullivan put together a career best 15 games in 1997 despite missing four games for breaking the jaw of Adelaide's Trent Ormond-Allen.
