The Vienna Festival (Wiener Festwochen) is a cultural festival in Vienna that takes place every year for five weeks in May and June.

The Vienna Festival started in 1951, when Vienna was still occupied by the four Allies. Since 1962 the Theater an der Wien has served as its center for theater.

The anthem that is played at the opening every year was composed by Werner Pirchner. Since 1988 Luc Bondy has served as artistic director of the festival.
