Leutkirch im Allgäu (German pronunciation: [ˈlɔʏtkɪʁç ʔɪm ˈʔalɡɔʏ], lit. 'Leutkirch in the Allgäu') is a former Free Imperial City located in south-eastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is part of the district of Ravensburg, in the western Allgäu region and belongs to the administrative region (Regierungsbezirk) of Tübingen. According to the German Meteorological Service, Leutkirch is one of the sunniest cities in Germany.
The name Leutkirch is derived from "Leutekirche" (English: Church of the people), a catholic church in the town which is called "Sankt Martin" today.
Since the municipal reform of 1972, the consolidated Leutkirch urban area comprises the town of Leutkirch im Allgäu itself and the former municipalities of Diepoldshofen, Friesenhofen, Gebrazhofen, Herlazhofen, Hofs, Reichenhofen, Winterstetten and Wuchzenhofen.
