Лаки Томпсон (Eli 'Lucky' Thompson)
(16.06.1924 Columbia, South Carolina, US - 30.07.2005 Seattle, Washington, US) 
американский джазовый тенор- и сопрано-саксофонист.
      Распространённое мнение о первенстве Джона Колтрэйна в деле высвобождения сопрано-сакса из плена забвения, неверно. 'Счастливчик' Томпсон наравне со Стивом Лэйси вернули саксу-сопрано право солирующего голоса опередив Трэйна.
      Сотрудничал с Lionel Hampton, Don Redman, Billy Eckstine, Lucky Millinder, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker и др.
