Hinduism in Austria is primarily represented through Gaudiya Vaishnavism, otherwise colloquially known as Hare Krishna to some.

Out of Austria's population of 8,184,691, there are 163 recorded Hindus, making them 0.002% of the total population (The percentage of Hindu population of Austria was taken from the United States Department of State's International Religious Freedom Report 2004 ).

The Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mission has established a mandir in Vienna, which has a yearly Krishna Janmaashtami festival that attracts many, including mainstream Hindu observers. Elder Vaishnavas from different missions, from local preachers throughout Central Europe to Srila Bhakti Vaibhava Puri Maharaj himself, are frequently invited to speak.

Vienna also has a local chapter of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
