The Austrian Physical Society (German: Österreichische Physikalische Gesellschaft) is the national physical society of Austria.
History
Until 1938, Austrian physicists were part of the German Physical Society. On 13 December 1950, it was decided to found a separate society for Austria and Fritz Kohlrausch was elected as first president in 1951.

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.
