Ludwig Satz (18 February 1891, 31 August 1944[1]) was an actor in Yiddish theater and film, best known for his comic roles. A 1925 New York Times article singles him out as the greatest Yiddish comic actor of the time.[2]

He was born in Lemberg (Lwów), Austria-Hungary (now Lviv, Ukraine] and died in New York City.[1] He played the male lead in the 1931 film His Wife's Lover (Zayn Vaybs Lubovnik), which was billed as the "first Jewish musical comedy talking picture".[3]
