Koloman Moser (Vienna, 30 March 1868 - there, 18 October 1918) was an Austrian artist; he painted, designed furniture, stained glass, jewellery and was a graphic designer. He was a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts and the Vienna School of Applied Arts; at this school he worked as a teacher after 1899.

In 1897, Moser was among the founders of the Vienna Secession, which he left in 1905 with the group around Gustav Klimt.

With Josef Hoffmann, he founded the production community the Wiener Werkstätte in 1903, which grew out of the Wiener Secession and was similar to the British Arts-and-crafts movement. Key contributors to the workshop included Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Emil Orlik and Oskar Kokoschka. Moser remained associated with the Werkstätte only until 1907.

Among his best-known creations are the stained-glass windows for the Otto Wagner-designed Kirche am Steinhof in Vienna.
