Michael Laucke (born 29 January 1947), is a Canadian classical, new flamenco, and flamenco guitarist. He is also a composer and music industry businessman. Laucke's career, now spanning 50 years in 25 countries, averages 150 concerts a season. He was given "full recognition as the person who has done more for the guitar in this country than anyone else" by the Canadian federal and provincial governments. In 1971, following the first of his many concerts at the National Gallery of Art, The Washington Post proclaimed that Laucke displayed "the highest form of virtuosity". In 1982, he was selected by Andrés Segovia to perform for the PBS network at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, after which he became Segovia's only Canadian pupil.
