Lucas David Pratto (born 4 June 1988 in La Plata) is an Argentine football striker who plays for Boca Juniors.

Pratto played in the Boca Juniors youth system from 2005 to 2007, when he was loaned out first to Tigre, and then to Norwegian club Lyn, on recommendation by the Norwegian Argentine scout Terje Liveröd.^[1]

Pratto made his league debut on 16 September 2007 in a 1–2 away defeat to San Lorenzo. He went on to make 13 appearances for Tigre in which he scored one goal against San Martín de San Juan on 23 May 2008.

In August 2008 Boca ended his loan spell with Tigre and loaned him out to Lyn Oslo.^[2] He made his debut in a cup game against Molde on 15 August, coming on as a substitute, and made his first league appearance on 21 September, also against Molde, where he scored his first goal. Pratto went on to play a total of 25 games for Lyn, scoring seven goals. At the end of his loan spell in July 2009, he was recalled to Argentina and admitted to Boca Juniors' first team squad, at the behest of the new manager, Alfio Basile.
