The SPARCstation LX (Sun model number 4/30) is a workstation that was designed, manufactured, and sold by Sun Microsystems. It was introduced on November 10, 1992, with an initial list price of $7,995 (equivalent to about $18,000 in 2024). Volume shipments commenced in December 1992 from Sun's factory in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.

Though cheaper than mainstream models in Sun's SPARCstation range at the time, such as the SPARCstation 2, both the SPARCstation LX and the SPARCclassic sold relatively slowly; Sun shipped approximately 3,500 units combined of these two models in late 1992.

The SPARCstation LX shares the codename "Sunergy" with the SPARCclassic, SPARCclassic X, and SPARCstation ZX.
