Klaus "Auge" Augenthaler (born 26 September 1957 in Fürstenzell, near Passau in Bavaria, West Germany) is a former German football player and now manager. A former defender, in his 15-year club career with FC Bayern Munich, he won seven Bundesliga titles. He also represented the West Germany national team, winning the FIFA World Cup in 1990.

In 2005, he was named as a member of the greatest Bayern Munich XI in the club's history.

Augenthaler played generally in the position of central defender or, especially in the later part of his career, libero. In his years with Bayern Munich he won the Bundesliga title seven times and the DFB-Pokal three times. In the European Cup he was runner-up in 1982, vs. Aston Villa (0–1) and again in 1987, although he missed the final due to suspension, when Bayern lost 2–1 to FC Porto.

From 1984 until the end of his career as player in 1991 Klaus Augenthaler also captained his club side. He played 404 Bundesliga matches and made 89 appearances in European cup competitions for Bayern.

Between 1983 and 1990 he played 27 times for West Germany, with which he won the World Cup 1990 in Italy in the final against Argentina (1–0). He was also part of the squad that reached the final of the 1986 World Cup, but there he only participated in two group matches.
