陸龜蒙（？ - 881年），字魯望，自號江湖散人、甫里先生，又號天隨子，唐朝蘇州吳縣人。善詩賦，多智數，狡獪。

陸元方七世孫，其父陸賓虞曾任御史之職。開成元年（836）前後出生，進士不第，曾在湖州、蘇州從事幕僚。隨湖州刺史張博遊歷，後來回到了故鄉蘇州甫里（今江蘇吳縣東南甪直鎮），過著隱居耕讀的生活，自號天隨子；由於甫里地低下，常苦水潦，乃至饑饉，著有《耒耜經》，是一本農學書；喜愛品茗，在顧渚山下闢一茶園，耕讀之餘，則喜好垂釣。與皮日休為友，時常在一起遊山玩水，飲酒吟詩，世稱「皮陸」，二人唱和之作編為《松陵集》十卷。

另著有《笠澤叢書》四卷，有清雍正重刊元本。

陸龜蒙卒年約為中和元年（881）。王定保曾為之作誄文。陸龜蒙墓在蘇州甪直古鎮保聖寺。後人為了紀念他，因為他生前喜歡看鬥鴨，開了一方水塘「鬥鴨池」，種上荷花，養上幾隻鴨子，水塘中間有一座清風亭，相傳是甫里先生讀書的地方。甫里先生墓在清風亭側，墓碑上刻有「唐賢甫里先生之墓」。在清風亭後有兩株參天古銀杏，相傳為先生手植，已有一千多年了。
