Lucas (Luckes) Michielsz was an Anabaptist martyr of Dordrecht, Dutch province of South Holland, by profession a glass-blower or a painter on glass, and burned at the stake with seven other martyrs on 20 March 1549 at Amsterdam. He had been baptized by Gillis van Aken. These martyrs are celebrated in the hymn "Tis nu schier al vervult ons broeders getal" (The number of our brethren is now nearly full), found in Veelderhande Liedekens of 1556 and later editions.
