Luis Fernando Macias Hernandez (born May 14, 1982 in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco) is a Mexican former professional cyclist. He won the Mexican national under-23 time trial championships in 2005. He returned to Mexico in 2006, after racing in Spain in 2004 and 2005, to compete for the Continental team and a year later Tecos-Trek. In 2008 he was the Mexican road race champion and won the silver medal in the road race at the Pan American Cycling Championships.

After the disbanding of the Tecos-Trek team in late 2009, for the 2010 season he signed with the American team Rock Racing–Murcia. The team had requested a position as a Professional Continental but was refused and was eventually downgraded to amateur. Macías competed for the team at the Vuelta Mexico Telmex and won the fourth stage. At the end of the year, he left the team and joined the Mexican team Canel's Turbo, also amateur, and competed in the Vuelta a Guatemala. For the 2011 season, Macias returned to professional cycling with the Movistar Continental Team.
