Ladislau Ludovic Bonyhádi (Template:Lang-hu; born 25 March 1923 - deceased 13 June 1997 in Miami, Florida, United States) was a Romanian football player of Hungarian ethnicity. He was one of the legends of UTA Arad, being the top-goalscorer of Liga I twice, in 1947 and 1948. In the 1947–48 season, he scored 49 goals, which is still a record for Romanian first league, despite that Dudu Georgescu scored 47 goals in the 1976 -1977 season whom was regarded as European record, until Messi scored 50 goals in the 2011–2012 season. He earned also three caps for the Romania national side. After his last season at ITA Arad, he went to Hungary, and played for a few teams in a lower league. In 1958, he became coach at the class teams from the neighboring country.
