Lucas Daniel Wilchez (Spanish pronunciation: , born 31 August 1983) is an Argentine former footballer who played as a left winger. He began his career at the Cambaceres youth squad, then moved to La Plata and joined the football academy of his hometown club, Estudiantes, at eighteen. The coach of Estudiantes, Reinaldo Merlo, had not assigned him to the team for the 2003–04 season, and Wilchez was loaned to San Martín de San Juan, playing with professional form during his first season in the Primera B. After another loan, he won his first title with Tigre in the third tier and returned to Tolosa in June 2007, thanks to Diego Simeone, who wanted him in the club. The next season he signed for Talleres de Córdoba, then moved to Europe after signing for Asteras Tripolis of Greece in 2009, and years later for Real Zaragoza. In June 2010, it was confirmed that Wilchez signed for Primera División club Colo-Colo, a team led by coach Diego Cagna, who directed him years ago in Tigre. Only days after his arrival, he earned the nickname of Peter Veneno, because of his similarity with the Chilean actor who plays Daniel Alcaíno. That same year he failed to win his first professional honour because Universidad Católica gained the league title, overcoming his own team's seven-point advantage.
