Austria–Uruguay relations are the relations between Austria and Uruguay. Diplomatic relations between both countries exist since the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: in 1870, Baron Anton von Petz celebrated a Treaty of Friendship, Trade and Navigation between both countries.[1]

The Austrian Ambassador in Buenos Aires is concurrent to Uruguay;[2] Austria has an honorary consulate in Montevideo.[3] Uruguay has an embassy in Vienna[4] (the ambassador being also concurrent to Hungary and Slovakia) and a consulate in Salzburg.[5]

There is also a small but significant group of people with Austrian descent in Uruguay, including some former members of the Austrian nobility.

Since 2009 there is a Social Security Agreement between both countries.[6]
