Brigadier-General Lucius Eugene Polk (July 10, 1833 – December 1, 1892) was a senior officer of the Confederate States Army who commanded infantry in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.

When Cleburne was promoted to divisional command, Polk was appointed brigadier general to date from December 13, 1862.

In June 1864, Polk was severely wounded (the fourth time during the war) at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain and was honorably discharged from the Army.

[2] Polk received high praise from Confederate soldier Sam Watkins, who wrote of him in his book Co. Aytch: "In every battle he was engaged in, he led his men to victory, or held the enemy at bay, while the surge of battle was against us; he always seemed the successful general, who would snatch victory out of the very jaws of defeat.

"[3] Polk died in Columbia, Tennessee, and is buried at St. John's Church Cemetery at nearby Ashwood.
