Wienerwald (German for "Vienna Woods") is a chain of fast-food restaurants with stores in Germany and Austria.

Founded in 1955 by Friedrich Jahn in Munich, it rapidly grew up to Europe's largest chain of fast-food restaurants. In more than 1600 restaurants in 1978, they mainly sold rotisserie chicken and other chicken products. Stores even opened in the USA. This huge growth also brought enormous debts, and many restaurants had to close.

As of 2005 there were only 63 restaurants left in Germany and Austria.
