Caroline Byng Lucas, née Caroline Lucas, (1886–1967) was a British artist and printmaker who established the Millers Gallery and Millers Press in Lewes in Sussex.

Biography Born into an aristocratic family, Byng Lucas studied painting and sculpture in London, Paris and Rome during the 1920s and first exhibited works at the Galerie des Jeunes Peintres in Paris in 1928. In the 1930s she studied sculpture under John Skeaping and had solo exhibitions of her paintings at the Lefevre Gallery in 1934 and of her sculptures at the Leicester Galleries in 1939. In 1941, with her older sister Frances Byng Stamper, Byng Lucas established the Millers Gallery in a converted outbuilding at her home in Lewes. The Gallery acted as an arts centre with a programme of exhibitions, concerts and lectures. The Gallery hosted over 40 exhibitions, which included showing works by Matisse, Cezanne and Pissarro.
