Lady Luck (born 1983) is the stage name of rapper Shanell Jones.
Luck signed a five-album record deal with Def Jam worth between half a million and a million dollars at the age of 17 on the strength of several freestyles that she did for New York radio station WQHT-FM.

Lady Luck was featured in the 2000 documentary film of Jay-Z's 1999 tour, Backstage.
