Lega Lombarda (English: Lombard League; abbr. LL), whose complete name is Lega Lombarda per Salvini Premier (English: Lombard League for Salvini Premier), is a regionalist political party active in Lombardy. Established in 1984, it was one of the founding "national" sections of Lega Nord (LN) in 1991 and has been the regional section of Lega per Salvini Premier (LSP) in Lombardy since 2020. Along with Liga Veneta, the LL has formed the bulk of the federal party (LN/LSP), which has been led by Lombards since its foundation.

The LL is currently led by a pro-tempore coordinator, Federico Cecchetti. Leading members of the party have included Umberto Bossi, Roberto Maroni, Roberto Calderoli, Giancarlo Giorgetti, Francesco Speroni, Roberto Castelli, Matteo Salvini, who has led the federal party since 2013, Gian Marco Centinaio and Attilio Fontana, who has served as president of Lombardy since 2018.
