The Oberamt Laupheim was an administrative district in Württemberg that was created in 1842 by renaming the Oberamt Wiblingen formed in 1808, renamed the district of Laupheim in 1934 and in 1938 was largely merged with the district of Biberach.
The region in northern Upper Swabia between the Danube, Iller and Riss had been part of the Habsburg sphere of influence since the Middle Ages. As a result of the Pressburg Peace Treaty and the Rhine Confederation Act, Württemberg, which was upgraded to a kingdom in 1806, was granted the possessions of the Wiblingen monastery, formerly the Lower Austrian estate, and some manors also came under Württemberg sovereignty. Within the Oberamt Biberach formed in 1806, to which these new acquisitions initially belonged, the Unteramt Wiblingen was set up in 1808. After the Paris border treaty finally defined the Bavarian-Württemberg border along the Iller, Wiblingen was upgraded to Oberamt in 1810. In 1842, Laupheim was designated as the administrative seat. While the Oberamt and District Court moved to Laupheim in 1845, the camera office remained in Wiblingen until 1909. Neighbors of the district, which was assigned to the Danube District from 1818 to 1924, were the Württemberg Oberämter Ulm, Biberach, Ehingen and the Bavarian Oberdonaukreis, later Schwaben and Neuburg District, with the district courts of Neu-Ulm and Illertissen.
