Carl Roesner (19 June 1804, Vienna - 13 July 1869, Steyr) was an Austrian architect.
He studied architecture in Vienna and Rome. In 1826, he began his work as a proofreader for lectures at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and, in 1835, became a Professor there. He gravitated to the Romanticists and concentrated on sacred art. Wilhelm Stiassny was one of his students. He was also editor of the Allgemeine Bauzeitung (General Construction News).
As he worked during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, many of his buildings are now outside Austria. A street in Vienna's Meidling district was named the "Roesnergasse" in his honor.
