La Chapelle-Saint-Luc is a commune in the Aube department in north-central France, right next to Troyes.

The village is cited in 1147 for tithes due to the Abbey of Saint-Loup but also in a bubble of 1164: nonas de Capella sancti Luce. The fief belonged to the Count of Champagne, came under Saint-Sépulcre, there was a county then royal town hall. Among the particular lords we must mention the Foulx family from the 14th century to the 16th century, then the family of Nicolas Paillot, mayor of Troyes from 1597 and by marriage to the Lefvres. Marie Lefvre married Pierre-François de Mesgrigny in 1730. The two Quinot children were the last lords in Chapelle-Saint-Luc. The property of the community included five pieces of land representing twelve arpents.
