This is a list of Austrian military aircraft since its start (1927–1938, 1955– onward), not including Austro-Hungarian aircraft. It is not guaranteed to be up-to-date or to be accurate, or complete. Aircraft still in service noted.
Austria do not have their own indigenous designation system for aircraft, instead using the manufacturer name. Despite this, many colloquiall names and spellings have spread over the years, such as "J-105 OE" for the Saab 105Ö, stemming from its predecessor, the "J-29F". There is also the 1992 update done to the Saab 35Ö, nicknamed "J-35 OE Mark II".
It should also be mentioned that, vehicle variants specifically designed for Austria, often get the suffix Ö or OE by the manufacturer; Ö standing for Österreich, meaning Austria, and OE being the international two letter code for the letter Ö.
