Jesus is God, along with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Trinity.... 3 in ONE God. not 3 gods, just ONE God. so both

The word "Lord" is a title, which can be applied to anyone. In the King James and other bibles, however, "the LORD" is a euphemism commonly used for the tetragrammaton--four Hebrew consonants that stand for God's name in the original Hebrew.
The ancient Hebrew alphabet did not use vowels, but only consonants. When you read, you inferred the word from its context. It would be like reading a novel written only in abbreviations. It would be possible to read if you knew what the novel was about.
Through the years, though, the pronunciation of God's name was lost due to Jewish superstition that proscribed using it--a really strict interpretation of the second commandment not to use God's name in vain. The four consonants remain, and are translated many different ways. Some say Yahweh, some say Jehovah, and in languages other than English there are different variants still.
The editors of the King James Bible opted to simply replace all but four instances of these letters with the euphemism "the LORD".
So, finally, the simple answer: the LORD refers to God. The same God the Hebrews worshipped, and the person Jesus called "The Father".

Not to confuse you further, but the answer is both.
LORD when you read it in Scripture is usually the English translation of the Hebrew YHWH (Yahweh, the name God revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus). It is also addressed to Jesus (which I would suggest is a proof of Jesus being more than a man). Consider in the gospel of John when Thomas the apostle calls Jesus Lord

well both, Jesus is God. the best way the trinity [Father, Son, Holy Ghost] was ever explained to me is like an egg.. you can't have an egg without the outer shell, the yoke, or that clear/white stuff. so Lord can refer to all of them.. but they each have their seperate functions.

According to Christian theology, the words LORD (Yahweh) and Lord (Adonai, Kurios) refer specifically to Jesus, and the word "God" (Elohim, Theos) refers either to the Father or to the Trinity as a whole. "Angel of the Lord" and "Angel of Great Counsel" also refer to Jesus.

Generally speaking Lord is referring to our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Then there is God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. All three are God think of it like an egg. With an egg you have the shall, the albumen and the yoke. Three things in one egg.
Perfect harmony three God's in one.

It could be either. Lord is title, not a name.
You must put the term in context to determine if the title is referring to Jesus or his Heavenly Father.

For Christians, they are two out of three and the same (good thing that the rest of Rome was better at math than the writers of that little concept), for every other monotheistic religion, it means God.
