Franz Jonas (October 4, 1899 - April 24, 1974) was an Austrian political figure. He served as the President of Austria between 1965 and 1974. He was a typesetter by profession and a member of the Social Democratic Party of Austria. After World War II he got involved in Viennese communal politics and was mayor of Vienna from 1951 to 1965. Since 1965, he was federal president and was re-elected in 1971. In 1974 he died in office. In Vienna, a large tramway station officially called Schottentor which was built when he was mayor is colloquially named after him (Jonas-Reindl, which translates as Jonas bowl).
