Arabs in Austria ({{langx|ar|عرب النمسا}}) are Austrians of Arab ethnic, primarily Egyptians, Lebanon, Syrians, Palestinian, Iraq and to a smaller extent Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Yemen who emigrated from their native nations and currently reside in Austria. Most Arab Austrians are of Levantine, Iraqi and Egyptian origin, as a result of the fact that they were the first Arabs to arrive in Austria.

In addition, Austria has people from Arab countries, who have the status of refugees (Refugees of the Syrian civil war) or illegal immigrants (Algerians of mainly Berber descent and usually mistakenly called Arabs) trying to immigrate to Western Europe.
