Ludwig O. Solberg (born 1886) was an architect based in Wenatchee, Washington.

He was born November 2, 1886, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He attended schools in Spokane and then Washington State College in Pullman, Washington during 1907–08 but apparently did not graduate. His further education and training is unclear, but he received an architectural license from the State of Washington by reciprocity on December 27, 1922. He served in World War I, including as a first lieutenant in the quartermaster corps in France. He was later an active member of the American Legion.

He worked for a time in the architectural firm of Morrison & Stimson in Wenatchee and is given credit with them for the Chelan County Courthouse (1924). He died November 26, 1967. [1]

One of his works is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), for its architecture. This is the Wenatchee Fire Station No. 1 (1929), at 136 S. Chelan Ave., Wenatchee, WA. Includes Beaux Arts styling. [1]
