Lucien Pariès (4 August 1947 — 29 January 1998) was a French rugby union international.

Born in Anglet in southwestern France, Pariès was a fly-half and skilled goal-kicker, who got his start in senior rugby at Biarritz Olympique.[1] He gained eight France caps during his career, debuting against the visiting Springboks in 1968 at the Stade Yves-du-Manoir. His only French Championship was won with RC Narbonne in the 1978–79 season.[2]

Pariès died in 1998 of a long illness, aged 50.[3]
