Ludza Municipality (Latvian: Ludzas novads, Latgalian: Ludzys nūvods) is a municipality in Latgale, Latvia. The administrative centre is Ludza. The municipality was formed in 2009 by merging Briģi Parish, Cirma Parish, Isnauda Parish, Istra Parish, Nirza Parish, Ņukši Parish, Pilda Parish, Pureņi Parish, Rundēni Parish and Ludza town of the former Ludza district.
During the 2021 Latvian administrative reform, the previous municipality was merged with Cibla Municipality, Kārsava Municipality and Zilupe Municipality. The new municipality now fully corresponds with the area of the former Ludza district.
The municipality is located 267 km from the capital of Latvia - Riga, by the Latvian-Russian border, i.e. by the border of the European Union with the Russian Federation.
The territory of the municipality is crossed by the internationally important Riga-Moscow road and by the Riga-Zilupe-Moscow railway.
