Luke Hayes-Alexander (born 1990) is a Canadian chef. He was the executive chef of Luke's Gastronomy in Kingston, Ontario, and held this position from 2006 until 2012 when the family sold the restaurant.[1][2][3][4]

Hayes lived in Australia for a year before moving to Toronto and founding an underground supper club in 2013, based in Kensington Market.[5]

He is noted for his skill as a charcutier and for his historically informed command of the techniques of molecular gastronomy. His restaurant served wine from its own vineyard.[6]

In November 2010, he addressed the first TEDxQueensU Conference at Queen's University.[7][8]
