The Lucerne S-Bahn (German: S-Bahn Luzern) is an S-Bahn-style commuter rail network focusing on Lucerne, Switzerland.

Opened on 12 December 2004, the network forms part of the Central Switzerland S-Bahn project (German: S-Bahn Zentralschweiz), which also includes the Zug Stadtbahn (German: Stadtbahn Zug).

As of 2012, the network consisted of the following lines:

• S 1: Luzern – Rotkreuz – Zug – Baar (also S1 of the Zug Stadtbahn)

A large number of new stations opened on this line in 2004. In the Zug area, the line operates to a quarter-hourly clock-face timetable. Between Lucerne and Rotkreuz, two trains per hour have run since December 2008. All trains are operated by Stadler FLIRT units. These trains also continue at half-hourly intervals as the S 18 to Sursee.

• S 3: Luzern – Arth-Goldau – Brunnen

In 2007, the Verkehrshaus and Meggen Zentrum stations were opened on this line.
