Franz Xaver Glöggl (21 February 1764 – 16 June 1839) was an Austrian musician and musical entrepreneur. He was appointed Kapellmeister of the Cathedral of Linz in about 1797. He was an important figure in the cultural life of Linz. He corresponded with Haydn, Mozart and Georg Joseph Vogler, and was a friend of Beethoven.
Glöggl was born on 21 February 1764 in Linz, which at that time was in the Archduchy of Austria. He was the son of the Austrian musician, composer and conductor Johann Joseph Glöggl.
Glöggl was a musician at the Stadtpfarrkirche of Linz from 1780 to 1783. Between 1784 and 1786 he was in Vienna, where he studied violin under Anton Hofmann and trombone with Clemens Messerer. From 1787 he conducted the theatre orchestra of Linz, and in 1790 he took over his father's position as Turnermeister, director of the tower music of the city of Linz. He was appointed Kapellmeister of the Old Cathedral of Linz in 1797 or 1798. The violinist Karl Holz, who later played in the Schuppanzigh Quartet and became a friend and personal secretary to Beethoven, studied under Glöggl in Linz.
Glöggl was active as a theatrical producer in Linz and in Salzburg. He ran a shop which dealt in art and music items. Tobias Haslinger, who later became a friend of Beethoven and published much of his music, worked in the shop.
