- For other uses, see Luz (disambiguation).
- The ancient name of a royal Canaanite city, connected with Bethel (Gen. 28:19; 35:6). It is debated among scholars whether Luz and Bethel represent one and the same town - the former the Canannite name, the latter the Hebrew name - or whether they were distinct places, though in close proximity.
- A town in the north, founded (Judg. 1:26) by "a man who came forth out of the city of Luz". It is identified by some with Luweiziyeh, 4 miles northwest of Banias.
