Is it possible to create a list of all the figures at the end of a document (this I can do) and make it appear in the table of contents?
So in the the table of content there will be a line saying List of figures ... 19 for example?

Please, provide also the information about the class you're using. – egreg Mar 18 '12 at 17:28
The List of Figures is produced with \listoffigures; you have to manually add it to the table of contents, so it should be preceded by \cleardoublepage in order to ensure that the page reference is correct. Uncomment the \phantomsection line if you're using hyperref:
\cleardoublepage
% \phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}
\listoffigures

7I prefer loading the
tocbibindpackage (or using special class faetures) because the LoF shouldn't be always preceded by a page break if one uses thearticleclass. – lockstep Mar 18 '12 at 17:30 -
This work but is there a way to change the \listfigurename to something else? – lpostula Mar 18 '12 at 17:32

@kasmanit That's why I used
\listfigurename, so that you can change its meaning as outlined in the question which lockstep pointed to. – egreg Mar 18 '12 at 17:42 -
5Whoever reads this - remember if your document doesn't have chapters (e.g. an
article) - you'll need to replace{chapter}with{section}or something similar. – einpoklum Sep 13 '17 at 18:08
This answer depends on your document class and some related packages.
- If you are using a standard class you can use the package
tocbibind - If you are using a KOMA-script class you can use the option
listof=totoc. - If you want to add the entry manual you can use the command
\addcontentsline - If you are using the class memoir the command
\listoffigurescreates an entry in the table of contents.

tocbibindhelped, thanks! Manually with\addcontentslinedid generate a wrong numbering. – swiesend Aug 19 '18 at 13:52
There's a really simple way to do this. Maybe the last comment meant that, but I'm not sure.
Change the name of \listofigures by using \renewcommand\listfigurename{}. So you can easy use \section{Abbildungsverzeichnis} to insert the list in your table of contents.

5This is very risky, since it depends on the document class. For example,
reportprints\listoffiguresas a\chapter*, not a\section. Moreover, your approach will provide a numbered section (not common with the LoF/LoT/ToC front matter). Finally, even if you remove\listfigurename, you'll be setting a sectional unit twice with your approach. – Werner Jan 2 '14 at 19:33
