The Austrian Golf Open, is a men's professional golf tournament on the European Tour. It was founded as the Austrian Open in 1990, and was a European Tour event for seven straight years up to 1996, being held under a variety of names due to regular changes of title sponsor. It dropped down to the Challenge Tour schedule between 1997 and 2005, with a sharp reduction in prize money, before returning to the main tour for the 2006 season.

The 2011 prize fund was 1,000,000.

The tournament is held at the Diamond Country Club in Atzenbrugg, Lower Austria, 35km west of Vienna.
