Ludovico Balbi (c. 1545 – 1604) was a Venetian singer and composer, and conductor.
He was a pupil of Costanzo Porta and a choirmaster at Padua.
In 1565, he became a student of the great Italian composer Costanzo Porta.
From 1570 to 1578, Balbi sang at St. Mark's Cathedral and was appointed maestro di cappella at the monastery S. Maria Glorioso del Frari.
In 1582, Balbi declined an offer to be maestro at Milan Cathedral and instead referred one of his underlings, offending some high-ranking officials of the Roman Church.
