Wolfram Wagner (born 28 September 1962 in Vienna) is an Austrian composer and flautist. He graduated from the University of Music in Vienna, Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London and the Frankfurt Conservatory. In 1992 he was appointed professor of harmony and counterpoint at the University of Music in Vienna.
