Gret Palucca (8 January 1902 in Munich – 22 March 1993 in Dresden) was a German dancer and teacher.
Shortly after birth, her family moved to San Francisco, returning with her mother to Dresden in 1909. There she received ballet lessons with Heinrich Kröller from 1914 to 1916. She saw Mary Wigman dance and became one of her first pupils.
In 1925, Palucca founded the Palucca School of Dance in Dresden. Her students included Ruth Berghaus and Lotte Goslar.
