Jakob Prandtauer (baptized in Stanz bei Landeck (Tyrol) on July 16, 1660; died in Sankt Pölten on September 16, 1726) was an Austrian Baroque architect.
Trained as a stonemason rather than as an architect, he designed and supervised the construction of the church of Melk Abbey, in Melk, Lower Austria. He was the uncle of Josef Munggenast, who inherited his business and continued his style.
