Ludza (audio|Ludzapronunc.ogg|pronunciation) is a city in the Latgale region of eastern Latvia. The population as of 2004 was 10,247.

Ludza, one of the oldest towns in Latvia, was first mentioned in Russian chronicles dating to 1173 or 1177. The Livonian Order built a stone fortress in 1399 atop an older Latgalian fortress and used Ludza as an eastern outpost in Livonia. Ludza received city rights in 1777 from Catherine II of Russia.
