Dr. Luke J Pen (1960-2002) was a biologist and environmental scientist in South Western Australia. He researched and wrote about rivers and their biology and management. He died in 2002.[1][2]

A memorial walk path on the Kalgan River commemorates his efforts and work to raise interest and knowledge in local rivers [3]

In 2008 a memorial scholarship in his name was created to support students of riverine environments in their research [4]
