Ludgvan (Cornish: Lujuan)[1] was an electoral division of Cornwall in the United Kingdom which returned one member to sit on Cornwall Council between 2009 and 2021. It was abolished at the 2021 local elections, being split between Ludgvan, Madron, Gulval and Heamoor, Long Rock, Marazion and St Erth, St Ives East, Lelant and Carbis Bay, and St Ives West and Towednack.

The same name was also used for a division of Cornwall Council between 1973 and 2009 which returned one member, and a division of Penwith District Council which returned 3 members between 1973 and 2004.[2][3]
