Flix Luna was a prominent Argentine writer, lyricist and historian.

Luna was born in Buenos Aires to a family originally from La Rioja Province, in 1925. A grandfather had founded the La Rioja chapter of the newly established centrist Radical Civic Union in 1892, and an uncle, Pelagio Luna, had been Vice President of Argentina for President Hiplito Yrigoyen, between 1916 and 1919. He enrolled at the University of Buenos Aires and earned a law degree in 1951. He was first published in 1954, with his biographical work, Yrigoyen. Opposed, as most in the UCR were, to the populist President Juan Pern, Luna, after the 1955 overthrow of Pern, was appointed as Director of the Ministry of Labors Employee Benefits Plan in 1956. Luna received his first literary prize in 1957 for his period tale, La fusilacin set in the nineteenth century, the work followed the controversial 1956 execution of General Juan Jos Valle andothers. This was followed by a biography of Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear, Yrigoyens chief rival within the UCR, in 1958.
