Luna Pier is a city in Monroe County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located from the Ohio border along the coast of Lake Erie. Previously known as Lakewood, it was established in the early 1900s and incorporated as a city in 1963. It functioned primarily as a resort for people living in the greater Toledo, Ohio and Metro Detroit area. The population was 1,436 at the 2010 census.

Its most prominent feature is a large crescent-shaped pier made of concrete, approximately long and reaching around out into Lake Erie. The pier is flanked by sandy beaches and man-made rock and concrete embankments. On most days, the Davis–Besse Nuclear Power Station in Port Clinton and Toledo Harbor Light can be seen from the pier. The city is served by Mason Consolidated Schools.
