Walter Ludin (27 February 1908 – April 1964) was a Swiss coxswain. He competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki with the men's coxed pair where they were eliminated in the round one repêchage.[2][3]

Ludin won medals at various European Rowing Championships in the coxed pair boat class: silver in 1950 and 1951, and gold in 1954 and 1955.[4] He won two European silver medals, in 1949 and 1951, with the coxed four.[5]
