Greg LaRocque, born February 24, 1954, in Baltimore, Maryland, is an American comics artist whose name is most closely associated with two of DC Comics' flagship titles: the Legion of Super-Heroes and The Flash. Before breaking into comics, he took an unusual early path — working as an assistant teacher at Baltimore's Professional Institute of Art while still a teenager, and building initial professional experience in the advertising field.

His transition into sequential art proved durable. Over a career spanning more than four decades, LaRocque accumulated credits as artist, inker, colorist, and writer across more than 260 issues, with his heaviest concentration of work appearing on Flash, Legion of Super-Heroes, Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Marvel Team-Up, and Power Man and Iron Fist. His style suited both the large-cast ensemble demands of Legion storytelling and the kinetic energy required of a speedster's solo book. He also contributed to the independent title Flushman, reflecting a willingness to work outside the mainstream publishers. Active in the industry from 1981 through at least 2023, LaRocque represents the kind of steady, craftsman-level professionalism that keeps serialized comics functioning month to month.
