Ludwig Franz Alexander Winther (9 March 1812 – 26 April 1871) was a German pathologist and ophthalmologist who was a native of Offenbach am Main.

From 1848–1867, he was an associate professor of general pathology and therapy at the University of Giessen, where, from 1867 to 1871, he served as the first full professor of pathological anatomy and therapy.[1] After his death in 1871, his position at Giessen was filled by Theodor Langhans (1839-1915).

In 1847, he was a founding member of the Giessener Sonderbund, a teachers' association at the University of Giessen.
