Luke J Pen (1960–2002[1][2]) was a biologist and environmental scientist in Western Australia.
He researched and wrote about rivers and their biology and management, in South West, Western Australia.[3][4]
A memorial walk path on the Kalgan River commemorates his efforts and work to raise interest and knowledge in local rivers.[5]
In 2008 a memorial scholarship in his name was created to support students of riverine environments in their research.[6]
