Lulu, OBE (nascida Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie, Glasgow, 3 de dezembro de 1948) é uma cantora escocesa, mais conhecida pelo o seu sucesso internacional "To Sir, With Love".
Alcançou a fama aos 15 anos com uma versão de "Shout". A sua banda de apoio era chamada The Luvers, mas depois de mais alguns sucessos alcançados no Reino Unido, Lulu passou a seguir uma carreira a solo.
Em 1966, estreou-se como atriz no filme To Sir, With Love, com Sidney Poitier. Lulu obteve grande sucesso com a faixa título do filme, chegando ao primeiro lugar nas tabelas norte-americanas.
Enquanto isso, continuava a sua carreira de cantora, participando em vários programas de TV e no Festival Eurovisão da Canção, em 1969, vencendo com a música "Boom bang-a-bang".
No mesmo ano, Lulu casou-se com Maurice Gibb, um dos Bee Gees. As suas carreiras musicais, entretanto, levaram ao divórcio pouco tempo depois, em 1973.
Apesar da sua carreira de cantora não ter ido muito longe, ela continuou atuando, mantendo a sua popularidade no Reino Unido.
Em 1974, interpretou a faixa título do filme The Man with the Golden Gun (007 - O Homem da Pistola Dourada)
Em 2000 foi condecorada com a Ordem do Império Britânico. Em 2003, lançou uma autobiografia, Don't Wanna Fight No More, nome inspirado numa canção de sucesso que ela compôs para Tina Turner.
Em 2004 lançou o álbum Back on Track, seguindo em tourné pelo o Reino Unido para celebrar os seus 40 anos de carreira.
