In [[Irish mythology]], '''Luchtaine''' (or '''Luchta''') was the [[carpenter]] or wright of the [[Tuatha Dé Danann]]; elsewhere he is described as the son of Luachaid.<ref>[https://celt.ucc.ie//published/T300011/text057.html ''The Second Battle of Moytura'' Section 57]</ref> He and his brothers [[Creidhne]] and [[Goibniu]] were known as the ''Trí Dée Dána'', the three gods of art, who forged the weapons which the Tuatha Dé used to battle the [[Fomorians]]. Specifically Luchtaine agrees to make all the shields and javelin shafts required for The Second Battle of Moytura.<ref>[https://celt.ucc.ie//published/T300011/text103.html ''The Second Battle of Moytura'' Section 103]</ref>

Referred to as Luighne, he was said to have died of a fiery dart during the Second Battle of Moytura.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1941|title=Lebor Gabála Érenn|url=https://ia802700.us.archive.org/26/items/leborgablare04macauoft/leborgablare04macauoft.pdf|access-date=9 Jan 2022}}</ref>
