Julius Tandler (February 16, 1869, Jihlava - August 25, 1936) was a physician and Social Democratic politician in Vienna, Austria. He is considered a leading personality of Red Vienna.

Born in Jihlava, Moravia, Tandler spent his schoolyears in Vienna. Later, his anatomical research secured him a lasting place in the history of anatomy. His main claim to fame, however, was his ambition to introduce a comprehensive system of health and social services in the Vienna municipality in the interwar years. On the other hand, he vehemently advocated euthanasia and proposed the sterilisation or extermination of "unworthy life" (unwertes Leben).

After the Februarkämpfe of 1934, Tandler had to quit his job. In 1936, he followed a call to Moscow to be an advisor in the Soviet hospital reform, but died there the same year.

The square in front of Vienna Franz Josef Station is named "Julius-Tandler-Platz", and a student residence in the Döbling district is named "Julius-Tandler-Heim".
