Lucas de Sá (born Locu Sinai) was a Portuguese tax collector. Born in a Gaud Saraswat Brahmin family of high social status, they would later convert to become Christian Brahmins on the islet of Chorão, in Portuguese Goa. Nothing is known about his birth or death. The oldest document mentions his name first in the year 1527 and it is certain that in 1555 he was still living. The Portuguese referred to him as O Comprido (Indo-Portuguese; "the tall one").
