Louis Leon Ludlow (June 24, 1873 – November 28, 1950) was a Democratic Indiana congressman. He proposed the Ludlow Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1938 requiring a national referendum on any U.S. declaration of war except in cases of direct attack. The amendment was rejected by Congress by a narrow margin and after an appeal from President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
