Louis Clyde Hudson (born July 11, 1944 in Greensboro, North Carolina) is a former NBA basketball player.

After starring at the University of Minnesota, Hudson was selected by the St. Louis Hawks with the 4th pick of the 1966 NBA Draft. At 6'5", Hudson could play as either a guard or a forward, and he had a long and successful professional career, scoring 17,940 points in 13 seasons (1966-1979). He was a six time All-Star with the Hawks (who moved to Atlanta in 1968), and he earned the nickname "Sweet Lou" for his smooth and effective jump shot. Hudson's #23 jersey has been retired by the Hawks franchise, and he currently works as a high school basketball coach in Park City, Utah.

Hudson was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.
