Elisabeth Lukas (born 12 November 1942) is an Austrian psychiatrist and is one of the central figures in logotherapy, a branch of psychotherapy founded by Viktor Frankl. Lukas is an author of 30 books, translated into 16 languages.

Lukas developed a Logo-Test to measure Viktor Frankl's principles of logotherapy, primarily the perceived degree of meaning in life on the part of the individual. The test also attempts to measure possible noogenic neurosis.
