The Zögling (English: pupil) is a German high-wing, cable-braced, single seat primary glider that was designed by Alexander Lippisch in 1926 and produced with many variations by a variety of manufacturers.

The usual launch method was by bungee cord from a sloped hill.

The primary structure of the glider is of wood, with the wings, tail surfaces and inverted "V" kingpost all finished in doped aircraft fabric covering.

The pilot sits on a simple seat in the open air, without a windshield.
