Ludwig Cancer Research is an international network of research institutes and laboratories that conduct basic, translational, and clinical studies on cancer. It encompasses the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR), an international non-profit organization founded in 1971 by American businessman and philanthropist Daniel K. Ludwig, and six endowed and independent Ludwig Centers that were established in 2006 at prominent U.S. institutions of biomedical research.

Ludwig Cancer Research has funded basic and translational cancer research through LICR—which financially supports and oversees Branches and laboratories at leading academic institutions in Europe and the U.S.—and through the six U.S.-based Ludwig Centers.
