LZ 129 Hindenburg (tyska: Deutsches Luftschiff Zeppelin #129; Registrering: D-LZ 129) var ett tyskt luftskepp (zeppelinare). Hindenburg var uppkallad efter den tyske rikspresidenten Paul von Hindenburg. Det var det största luftfartyg som någonsin har byggts, men har blivit mest ihågkommet för den katastrof då hela skeppet fattade eld och havererade inför flera filmkameror.
