The Austrian Film Award ({{langx|de|Österreichischer Filmpreis}}), is the annual national film award of Austria, first given out in 2011. It is voted on by members of the Austrian Film Academy ({{langx|de|Österreichische Filmakademie}}), which was founded in 2009 and consists of distinguished professionals from the Austrian film industry. The trophy was designed by media artist Valie Export.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sixpackfilm.com/en/catalogue/filmmaker/72/|title=VALIE EXPORT | sixpackfilm|access-date=2020-03-29|archive-date=2020-03-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200329181647/https://www.sixpackfilm.com/en/catalogue/filmmaker/72/|url-status=live}}
