Lucius Julius Caesar (17 BC-2), most commonly known as Lucius Caesar, was the second son of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia the Elder. He was born between 14 of June and 15th of July 17 BC with the name Lucius Vipsanius Agrippa, but when he was adopted by his maternal grandfather Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus, his name was changed to Lucius Julius Caesar. In the year of his birth, his maternal grandfather Caesar Augustus adopted him and his brother Gaius Caesar. He and his brother were raised and educated by their grandparents.

As he and Gaius were the heirs to Augustus they had promising legal and military careers. Lucius died in Gaul of an illness in 20 August 2 AD, 18 months before the death of his brother Gaius that occurred in 21 February 4 AD. Tiberius in turn was adopted as Augustus' son and heir.
