Carlos Ariel Luna (born January 17, 1982, in Piquillín, Córdoba) is a retired Argentine footballer who played as a forward.
Luna was signed by Racing Club de Avellaneda of the Primera Division Argentina for the 2005–2006 season but was offloaded to Quilmes in 2006.
During his time at Quilmes the club endured one of their worst seasons finishing bottom of the table with only 21 points.
Despite the weakness of the team Luna managed to score seven goals in the Clausura 2007 tournament, bringing him to the attention of Elche and prompting his move to Spain during the June–July 2007 transfer window.
