The East Central Synod of Wisconsin is an incorporated geographic area of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States.
Not to be confused with other Lutheran bodies, in which the national expression is called a synod, in the ELCA, a synod is most similar to a diocese or conference in other mainline denominations.

The Synod is divided into six conferences: Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, Shawano, Tomorrow River, and Wisconsin River Valley.
