The Austrian Archaeological Institute at Athens (Template:Lang-de; Template:Lang-el) is one of the 17 foreign archaeological institutes operating in Athens, Greece. It is a branch of the Austrian Archaeological Institute based in Vienna.

Founded in 1898 by Otto Benndorf,[1] it is the fifth oldest such institution in Greece. Its main role is to provide a basis for Austrian scholars active in Greece, and to facilitate Austrian-run archaeological projects in the country.
