Lucas Miré (born 1972) is an American singer/songwriter based in Atlanta, Georgia, whose music is characterized by personal lyrics, relationship themes, and melancholy melodies. His debut CD, Forever's Not As Long As It Used To Be, was independently released in 2005 on Zakz Records.

In 2005, Miré was selected by singer-songwriter/activist Doria Roberts to perform during the Queerstock block at Atlanta's Gay Pride. He also performed at the 2005 Atlantis Music Conference as part of the Odd Man Out Showcase.

In 2006, Forever's Not As Long As It Used To Be was nominated for an Outmusic Award for Outstanding Male Debut. Produced by Los Angeles-based producer B. Calm, the disc added electronic textures and flourishes to Miré's acoustic guitar-based compositions. The CD's final track, "Part Missing," was originally written and performed by Miré's mentor, singer-songwriter Lori Carson (solo artist, Slang, Golden Palominos).

In 2002, Miré was one of 12 songwriters from around the world Lori Carson invited to New York City to participate in a three-day workshop. The song he wrote there, "1-1000-2," appears on the resulting 2004 songwriter compilation Songs At The Point.

October 2009 saw the independent release of Miré’s sophomore disc, Never Regret the Nights. Produced, arranged, recorded and mixed by Clay Cook (Zac Brown Band, John Mayer, etc.) at Cook’s Small Room Studio in six days in October 2008. Continuing to marrying head and heart, Never Regret the Nights saw a shift from the folktronica/pop touches of Miré’s debut, and finds him taking a more organic approach to another batch of highly personal songs. The record also features vocal contributions from Doris Muramatsu of the folk-rock band, Girlyman, and Emily Kate Boyd. Instinct Magazine gave the record 4 stars (out of 5): “These consoling tracks, built on acoustic guitar, speak to what happens in the quietest hours."

As of January 1, 2011, Miré is in the studio with Atlanta producer Brian Slusher working on his third LP, Break Your Own Heart. More minimal than its predecessors, and scheduled for a late 2011 digital-only release, the album will include appearances by Edie Carey, Girlyman and others.
