Ludwig Stubbendorff (born February 24, 1906 in Turloff near Schwerin , † July 17, 1941 ) was a German rider.

Stubbendorff was the son of a forester. He passed his Abitur in Schwerin, and subsequently joined the 2nd (Prussian) Artillery Regiment as a volunteer. In 1930 he was delegated to the Hanover cavalry school because of his equestrian talent . Here he was a student for two years and was then taken on. Initially active as a dressage rider, he later switched to the eventing stable.

At the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin , he won the gold medal in eventing both individually and with the team on Nurmi . Stubbendorff was the only German Olympic champion from 1936 who was not promoted for his success.

After his transfer from the 9th / Artillery Regiment 22 Verden on March 31, 1939, he fell on July 17, 1941 as a department commander of the 1st / Artillery Regiment 1 in the Second World War on the Eastern Front in Priber am Dnepr .
