The list of ambassadors from Austria to South Korea began long after diplomatic relations were established in 1892. The current official title of this diplomat is "Ambassador of the Republic of Austria to the Republic of Korea."

Austrian-Korean diplomatic relations were initially established during the Dual Monarchy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Joseon period of Korean history.

After the Austria-Korea Treaty of 1892 was negotiated, ministers from Austria could have been appointed in accordance with this treaty. However, diplomatic affairs were initially handled by the German representative in Seoul.^[1]
