Lucina Juliana von der Heyde (born 24 January 1997) is an Argentine field hockey player who plays as midfielder for German club Mannheimer HC.

She was part of the Argentine team at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[1][2] At the 2018 Hockey Stars Awards, she was named the FIH Rising Star of the Year.[3] In 2019 she took a break from the national team.[4] In late 2022 she was called out for the national team once more and competed in the 2022-23 Pro League getting a silver medal, but then quit the team.

In 2026, three years after her last participation in Las Leonas, she received the call to join the German team since she became a legal German citizen.[5]
