The Luminaire was a live music venue on Kilburn High Road in north west London, UK. It opened on 1 March 2005 in what was a nightclub called Late, above McGovern's Pub and The Kilburn Bar. Its last public show was 9 March 2011. Student apartments now occupy the space.

It was co-founded by John Donnelly, a publican and property developer from Ireland, and Andy Inglis, a Scot and artist manager.

The venue name was inspired by a bar called Lit on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was voted as Time Out Magazine's London Venue of The Year in 2006[1] and as Music Week's UK Venue of The Year in 2007,[2] primarily because of its positive attitude to both artist and audience.[3]

In a newsletter in November 2010, The Luminaire announced their closure saying that "It's been a labour of love for a while now, and at this point it makes no sense for us to continue."[4]
