Luipa or Luipada (c. 10th century) was a mahasiddha siddhacharya from Eastern India. He was a Buddhist saint from the Kãivartā community. He was a writer of a number of Buddhist texts and one of the early poets of Charyapada, a late Apabhraṃśa collection of poems.
==Nomenclature and etymology== Although the Tibetan translation for Lui is "the fish-gut eater" (), the root of the word is probably Sanskrit lohita which means "red" and the names like Luidhar, Luichandra and Luiya mentioned in the Dharmamangals of the late medieval period originated from the same root.
