Lukov is a municipality and village in Zlín District in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,800 inhabitants.

Lukov is located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of Zlín. It lies on the border between the Hostýn-Vsetín Mountains and Vizovice Highlands. The highest point is at 586 m (1,923 ft) above sea level. The brooks Lukovský potok and Bělovodský potok flows through the municipality.

The first written mention of Lukov Castle is in a deed of King Ottokar I from 1219. In 1332, Lukov was documented as a property of the Sternberg family. From 1334 to 1342, it was a royal property, but then the estate was again acquired by the Sternberg family. The Lukov Castle was conquered and burned by the army of Matthias Corvinus during the Austrian–Hungarian War (1477–1488), but after the war it was repaired and greatly enlarged.

In 1511, Lukov was bought by the Lords of Kunštát. However, due to financial difficulties, they sold Lukov already in 1547. The new owners of the estate, the Nekša of Landek family, had rebuilt the castle into a Renaissance residence. In 1614, Lukov was inherited by Albrecht von Wallenstein, whose wife was Lucretia Nekšová of Landek. Duirn gthe Thirty Years' War, when Lukov was owned by the Minkvic of Minkvicburk family, the Swedish army conquered the castle and damaged it.

Due to debts, the Minkvics sold Lukov in 1710 to Jan Josef Rottal. In 1724, he sold Lukov to the Counts of Seilern-Aspang. They did not live in Lukov, so during their rule the castle lost its importance until it was abandoned at the end of the 18th century and fell into disrepair.
