The Ludwigsburg University of Education (German Pädagogische Hochschule Ludwigsburg), also called in English the University of Ludwigsburg and the Pedagogical University of Ludwigsburg, is an institution of higher education in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Pädagogische Hochschule is usually translated as "University of Education".

The university trains educators for primary schools, general secondary schools (Hauptschule), middle-ranking secondary schools (Realschule), and special schools.
