Ludwig Philipp Carl Wilhelm Strecker (16 March 1853 – 19 December 1943) was a German businessman who owned the London-based music publishing house, Schott and Co., Limited. He inherited the London part of the business after working for its previous owner as legal council. The company was held by him and later his family until the Scott publishing house was brought back together in 1980 under the German company named Schott Music GmbH & Co.
