The Liebhabertheater-Gesellschaft Solothurn (''abbrev.'' LTG; ''Engl.'' Amateur Theatre Society Solothurn) was founded in 1810 in Solothurn in Switzerland and has been active ever since.

Theatre activities in Solothurn had their origin in the Jesuit drama tradition in mid-17th century. Using the municipal theatre as their performance venue, the Liebhabertheater-Gesellschaft staged a great amount and variety of productions from classical drama to plays for mere entertainment. With the foundation of the professional theatre Städtebundtheater Biel-Solothurn in 1927, the LTG focussed on popular theatre, leaving standard language drama to the professionals.

Today, the Liebhabertheater-Gesellschaft Solothurn is still active. In 2010, the LTG marked its 200th anniversary with an extensive special event programme.
