Heinrich "Wudi" Müller (born May 13, 1909 – April 5, 2000) was an Austrian football (soccer) player and coach. In the early 1930s he was an albeit minor part of Austria's all conquering Wunderteam. As coach he defined the post-World War II glory period of FK Austria Wien.
The trained shoemaker played from 1921 to 1935 for Wiener AC in Vienna, Austria. With this club he won the 1931 Cup of Austria and made it all the way to the final of the Mitropa Cup, both matches of which were lost against local rivals First Vienna FC.
In 1935 the offensive midfielder moved to MTK Hungaria in Budapest where he won, alongside players like Gusztáv Sebes and Ferenc Sas the Hungarian championships of 1936 and 1937. In June 1940 Müller returned to Vienna and joined FK Austria Wien, initially as a player.
In the early 1930s he was called five times to play for the Austrian national football team, for which he scored four goals.
This includes two nominations for the famed Wunderteam, where he played under the management team Hugo Meisl and Jimmy Hogan alongside the legendary Matthias Sindelar. In these matches, Austria defeated Italy 2-1 in March 1932 and Hungary 3-2 in October 1932
