Austrians Abroad (German:Auslandsösterreicher) are Austrian citizens, migrants and expatriates who reside outside the Republic of Austria.

The interests of these approximately 613,300 Austrians living abroad, mostly in Germany (255,500), Switzerland (67,000), the UK (39,600), USA (39,000) and Australia (22,500), are represented by the World Federation of Austrians Abroad (German:Auslandsösterreicher-Weltbund), an NGO with headquarters in Vienna, Austria. It is also an umbrella organisation for more than 170 Austrian clubs worldwide, publisher of the quarterly magazine ROTWEISSROT (named after the colours of the Austrian flag), and runs the online community austrians.org (founded in 2004 by Gerald Ganglbauer).
