"Lucky" is a song by the American singer Halsey from her fifth studio album, The Great Impersonator (2024). Columbia Records released it as the album's lead single on July 26, 2024. It interpolates the Britney Spears song "Lucky" (2000) in its chorus and the Monica song "Angel of Mine" (1998) in its production. Halsey wrote "Lucky" with Michael Uzowuru, who handled its production alongside Rahm Silverglade and Dylan Wiggins. Max Martin, Rami Yacoub, Alexander Kronlund, Rhett Lawrence, and Travon Potts also received songwriting credits as part of the interpolations.

Music critics categorized "Lucky" as a pop song with elements of R&B. Lyrically, it sees Halsey exploring themes of health issues and motherhood, as well as her relationship with fame. Some critics praised the lyrics while others believed it was below the expectations. Commercially, "Lucky" peaked at number 88 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and entered secondary charts in three other countries. Halsey performed the song as part of the set list of For My Last Trick: The Tour (2025), as well as at festival appearances.

A music video for "Lucky" premiered on the same date as the single's release. Written by Halsey and directed by Gia Coppola, it stars the singer as a 2000s pop star alongside a young girl who represents her inner child. It contains a cameo from Simon Rex and references Spears's "Lucky" as well as "Toxic" (2004). The video was initially criticized by Spears on social media, who expressed her displeasure, although she later deleted the comments and claimed it was fake news.
