Austria–Taiwan relations refer to the bilateral relations between Austria (formally the Republic of Austria) and Taiwan (formally the Republic of China).

Austria and the Republic of China established diplomatic relations in 1913, but these were severed in 1971 when Austria recognized the People's Republic of China (PRC). Since then, relations between Austria and Taiwan have been conducted on a non-diplomatic level through representative offices that function as de facto embassies.

Although they do not maintain formal diplomatic ties, Austria and Taiwan have built close links in economics, trade, tourism, culture, and education, and share values such as democracy, freedom, and human rights.
