Josef Hickersberger (born April 27, 1948 in Amstetten, Austria) is a former professional football player and former coach of the Austrian soccer cult-club SK Rapid Wien. Since January 2006 he is coaching the Austrian national team.

Hickersberger's career as a player began with FK Austria Wien. Later he played for Kickers Offenbach, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Rapid Vienna and others. He was also a member of the Austrian national team during the Football World Cup 1978 in Argentina.

Since retiring as a player, Hickersberger has worked as a football coach. He was the coach of the Austrian national team at the Football World Cup 1990 in Italy and also coached Fortuna Düsseldorf (1990-1992) and Austria Wien (1993/94).

In 2002 Hickersberger came back to Austria, and brought back success to Rapid. With him as coach, Rapid won the Austrian Championship of 2004/2005, nine years after the last triumph, and accordingly qualified for the UEFA Champions League group stage where Rapid faces the teams of Bayern Munich, Juventus Turin and Club Brugge.
