Lucius Banks, Jr.
(1 May 1886 – February 1955) was an American professional rugby league footballer of the early 20th century.
He played in England for Hunslet in Hunslet, Leeds in 1912 and, is thought to be the first black athlete to compete in rugby league football; the first American to play rugby league; and, according to the historian Tony Collins, "probably only the fourth black American to play professional football of any code".
