contents We formulate non-Hermitian Landau levels in two-dimensional systems under a complex perpendicular magnetic field. In the symmetric gauge, we derive their discretely spaced, highly degenerate complex spectra and biorthogonal eigenstates, and clarify the role of non-unitary gauge transformations. A non-Hermitian Harper-Hofstadter lattice model confirms the continuum theory and reveals Gaussian wave packet dynamics governed by semiclassical equations with a complex Lorentz force, pointing to possible experimental realizations of complex magnetic fields.
