La Luna (or LaLuna) was a rock-'n'-roll nightclub in Portland, Oregon, United States from 1992 to 1999.

It was described as the "best medium-size venue in Portland" and "an all-ages venue that somehow manages to stay cool."Located at the corner of Southeast Ninth Avenue and Southeast Pine Street, La Luna was previously known as the Ninth Street Exit (in the 1970s) and the Pine Street Theater (1980–1991). It was called RKCNDY Portland (Rock Candy) for most of 1992. It was later known again as the Pine Street Theater (2000–02) and later as Solid State (2004–05).
