Ludwig Philipp Carl Wilhelm Strecker (16 March 1853 – 19 December 1943) was a German businessman who owned the London-based music publishing house, Schott and Co., Limited.

The London publishing firm stayed in his family, passing to his four children, until 1980, when it merged back into B. Schott's Söhne of Mainz, Germany.

Franz, who had no children, stipulated in his will that B. Schott's Söhne be distributed after the death of his wife, Betty de Braunrasch (1820–1875), as follows:[1] Franz Ritter von Landwehr (born 1865) inherited the publishing business of Mainz while a minor; after reaching majority age, he operated it until retirement in 1911.

In Strecker, Sr.'s, role as head of B. Schott's Söhne, he was a publisher for Richard Wagner, who made challenging demands that frequently culminated in financial duress.

Strecker was involved in the Mainz Oratorio Society (de), currently known as the Mainzer Singing Academy – which has endured for one hundred and ninety-three years.
