Karl Blodig (16 October 1859, Vienna – 7 September 1956, Bregenz) was an Austrian mountaineer, optician and journalist.
Blodig was the first to successfully climb all the Alpine peaks of over 4000 meters, completing his final summit in around 1900. He describes these climbs in his book "Die Viertausender der Alpen (The 4000-meter Alpine Peaks)", first published in 1923.
