We prove a $q$-analog of a classical binomial congruence due to Ljunggren
which states that \[ \binom{a p}{b p} \equiv \binom{a}{b} \] modulo $p^3$ for
primes $p\ge5$. This congruence subsumes and builds on earlier congruences by
Babbage, Wolstenholme and Glaisher for which we recall existing $q$-analogs.
Our congruence generalizes an earlier result of Clark.
