The Anonymi Chronicon Austriacum (Anonymous Austrian chronicle) is an anonymous Middle Latin chronicle that covers the years 973–1327.Auguste Molinier, [http://www.persee.fr/doc/shf_0000-0000_1903_num_3_1_942_t1_0207_0000_2 "2903. Chronicon Austriacum (973–1327), publiée dans A. Rauch, Rerum Austriacarum scriptores, II, 209–312,"] Collections numériques de la Sorbonne, 3 (1903), p. 207. It was first published in 1793 by Adrian Rauch alongside the Annales Zwetlenses, both from a paper manuscript he found in the Bibliotheca Palatina Vindobonensis (Palatine Library of Vienna).Cf. Rauch, 209ff.

It is an important source for the late 13th and early 14th century in Austria. It also contains pertinent information about France during the reigns of the German kings Adolf (1292–98) and Albert I (1298–1308). It is the only source for the Mongol raid in the Latin Empire in 1242. Its account of this raid was copied into the Chronicon Leobiense and the Continuatio Sancrucensis.István Vásáry, Cumans and Tatars: Oriental Military in the Pre-Ottoman Balkans, 1185–1365 (Cambridge University Press, 2005), p. 70.
