Lucia Klocová (born November 20, 1983 in Martin) is a Slovak middle distance athlete, who specialises in the 800 metres and 1500 metres. She represented Slovakia at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. She has also reached the semi-finals of the World Championships in Athletics on five occasions.

She was a highly successful junior athlete, winning the bronze medal at the 2000 World Junior Championships and then going on to become the 2001 European Junior Champion. The following year she improved one place on the global stage, taking a silver medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships. Stepping up an age level, she won the silver at the 2003 European Athletics U23 Championships.

She set a personal best in the 800 m at the 2008 Meeting Gaz de France in Paris. Her time of 1:58.51 was a step towards Gabriela Sedláková's Slovakian record of 1:58.37, but it was overshadowed by Pamela Jelimo's African record run.
