Leutkirch im Allgäu is a former Free Imperial City in southeastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It belongs to the district of Ravensburg. About 24,000 people live there. It is in the western Allgäu region.

The name Leutkirch comes from "Leutekirche" (English: Church of the people), a catholic church in the town which is now called "Sankt Martin".[3]

In 1972, the former municipalities of Diepoldshofen, Friesenhofen, Gebrazhofen, Herlazhofen, Hofs, Reichenhofen, Winterstetten and Wuchzenhofen joined together to become the town of Leutkirch im Allgäu.
