The Anton Wildgans Prize of Austrian Industry is a literary award that was endowed in 1962 by the Federation of Austrian Industry. The prize is worth 15,000 Euro[1] and is granted by an independent jury to a young or middle-aged writer of Austrian citizenship.

The award is dedicated to Anton Wildgans who, "like few others, embodied Austrian values in their best sense."
