The Austrian Physical Society (German: Österreichische Physikalische Gesellschaft) is the national physical society of Austria.

Every year it awards a prize to a promising young physicist. Alternating every year, this is the Ludwig Boltzmann Prize for theoretical physics and the Fritz Kohlrausch Prize for experimental physics.
