Louis "Lou" Wangberg (born March 27, 1941) is an educator who was the 41st lieutenant governor of Minnesota. He was elected on the Independent-Republican ticket with Governor Al Quie and served from January 1, 1979, to January 3, 1983. He also served as Quie's chief of staff for part of the term until he sought the governor's office on his own. In 1982, when Quie chose not to run for reelection, Wangberg was the Independent-Republican endorsed candidate for governor, but lost the primary to Wheelock Whitney. (DFL nominee Rudy Perpich won the election.)

Before becoming lieutenant governor, Wangberg served as a school superintendent in Bemidji. After his term of office he was an executive with the Jostens Corporation, a management consultant, professional speaker, and the president of Flagler Career Institute. Wangberg is the last man to have served as lieutenant governor of Minnesota.

Wangberg lives in Plantation, Florida, where he taught Advanced Placement United States History and government/economics at Pembroke Pines Charter High School, the largest charter high school in the United States (1,700 students). He is also a professor in the doctoral program of Northcentral University and the Keller Graduate School of Management.
