Liselotte Landbeck (13 January 1916 – 15 February 2013) was an Austrian athlete who competed at a high level in both figure skating and speed skating in the 1930s. In figure skating, she won the bronze medal at the 1934 World Championships.

In speed skating, Landbeck competed at the first ever international long track speed skating competition for women during the 1932 European Speed Skating Championships in Davos on 9–10 January 1932. She won this competition against Dutchwomen Elly Taconis by setting a new world record in the 500m as well as the world record in the 1000 m.{{Cite web|url=https://www.schaatsen.nl/nieuws/archief/2014/2/column-na-54-jaar-gerechtigheid-polen/|title=Column: Na 54 jaar gerechtigheid Polen|website=Schaatsen.nl}}{{Cite web|url=https://sportgeschiedenis.wordpress.com/2017/02/22/1932-een-schaatsende-vrouw-tussen-de-mannen/|title=1932 – Eén schaatsende vrouw tussen de mannen|date=22 February 2017}} Landbeck won the next season the first unofficial 1933 World Allround Speed Skating Championships for Women.

Although she originally was from Vienna, in 1935, she married the Belgian figure skater Robert Verdun and moved to that country. She represented Belgium in the 1936 Winter Olympics.
