Lund Institute of Technology or "Lunds Tekniska Högskola" (LTH) refers to the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University in Lund, Sweden. Originally established separate from the university in 1961, it was incorporated in 1969. While the name has a history of use internationally, since 2005 the "Lund Institute of Technology" title is only intended for use domestically in Sweden, and internationally the school is known as the Lund University, Faculty of Engineering.

LTH is Sweden's third largest institute of technology and the third of its kind in Sweden. About 7,000 (out of a total of 34,000 university students) study at the institute. The facilities housing the institute are to a varying extent shared with regular University education in bordering disciplines. Basic courses are as a rule offered in Swedish, while higher level courses are often taught in English with English literature.
