Luke Wadding (16 October 1588 – 18 November 1657) was an Irish Franciscan friar and historian. He collected the funds for the establishment of the Irish College of St Isidore in Rome, for the education of Irish priests, and gave the college a library of five thousand printed books and eight hundred manuscripts. He was rector of the college for many years, and unsuccessfully disputed a provision of Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi's will stating that the college should be placed under the charge of the Jesuits.
