  Lukas Hottinger (Düsseldorf, 12 febbraio 1933 – Basilea, 4 settembre 2011) è stato un paleontologo, geologo e biologo svizzero.
  
  Ha pubblicato numerosissimi lavori riguardanti la biologia e paleobiologia dei macroforaminiferi. È stato uno dei maggiori esperti mondiali di macroforaminiferi sia attuali che fossili. Si è occupato degli alveolinidi del Paleogene e dell'Eocene, ha studiato le comunità bentoniche del Golfo di Aqaba e Mauritius, è stato responsabile del progetto IGCP 286 (Early Paleogene Benthos) ed ha organizzato corsi internazionali COMETT sui macroforaminiferi dal 1993 al 1996. Dal 1959 al 1964 ha lavorato in Marocco per il Servizio Geologico elaborando la carta geologica del Marocco, sotto la direzione di Georges Choubert e Anne Faure-Muret.
  
  Nel 1997 è stato insignito del Cushman Award dalla Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research.
