Severin Lüthi (born 5 January 1976) is a Swiss tennis coach. He has coached the Swiss Davis Cup Team for many years and has also been a long-time coach of tennis great Roger Federer.

Lüthi grew up in Stettlen, on the outskirts of Bern. He played tennis in his youth and once beat Gustavo Kuerten. He gave up tennis at the age of 20 and served a commercial apprenticeship with his father's company.

He briefly attended university, but found that it did not interest him. Instead, he got involved in sports, first soccer, then as assistant coach of the Swiss Davis Cup team in 2002 when Peter Carter was killed in an automobile accident in South Africa. After three years, he was promoted to team captain.

He has toured with Federer since 2007.
