Luca Mozzato (born 15 February 1998) is an Italian cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Arkéa–B&B Hotels.[3][4]

Mozzato initially signed a contract extension until 2025 with B&B Hotels–KTM in July 2022[5] but after the team collapsed in December of that year he signed with UCI WorldTeam Arkéa–Samsic for 2023.[6] He won his first professional races that year, taking the title at Binche–Chimay–Binche as well as on stage two of the Tour du Limousin. In March 2024, he outsprinted Dylan Groenewegen to win the Bredene Koksijde Classic.[7] Two weeks later, he won the sprint for second at the Tour of Flanders, just over a minute behind winner Mathieu van der Poel.[8]
