Ludwig of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (20 October 1696, in Langenburg – 16 January 1765, in Langenburg) was a Count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. On 7 January 1764, he was elevated to Imperial Prince by Emperor Francis I.
He was a son of Count Albert Wolfgang of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and Countess Sophia Amalia of Nassau-Saarbrücken.
During Ludwig's reign some modifications to Langenburg Castle were made: the east wing was provided with its present form and further modifications in the Baroque style took place. He also built, as his sommer residence, the Lustschloss Ludwigsruhe on the land of the former hamlet of Lindenbronn, next to the hunting park created in 1588.
