Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig (29 December 1816 – 23 April 1895) was a German physician and physiologist.
In 1842 Ludwig became a professor of physiology and in 1846 of comparative anatomy. From professorhips in Zurich and Vienna he went in 1865 to the University of Leipzig and developed there the Physiological Institute, designated today after him. Ludwig researched several topics such as the physiology of blood pressure, urinary excretion and anesthesia. He received the Copley Medal in 1884 for his research.
Since 1932 the Carl Ludwig Honorary Medal is awarded by the German Society for Cardiology to outstanding investigators in the area of cardiovascular research.
