Philipp Hosiner (born 15 May 1989) is an Austrian footballer who plays as a striker for Union Berlin in 2. Bundesliga.

On 31 August 2012, Hosiner signed a three-year contract with FK Austria Wien having already scored five Bundesliga goals for Admira to start the season. On 27 October 2012, Hosiner scored his first hat-trick for Austria in their 6−4 win over his former club Admira. He followed this impressive performance up with another hat-trick in Austria's next league match, a 6−1 defeat of SV Ried. Just over a month later on 8 December 2012, Hosiner scored his third hat-trick of the season, guiding Austria Wien to a 6−3 win over Wolfsberger AC.

In his debut season with Austria Wien, Hosiner scored 32 league goals to finish as the "Torschützenliste", top scorer, of the Austrian Bundesliga. Hosiner was also voted as the "Player of the Season" in the Bundesliga as Austria Wien won their first league title since 2006 with a 4−0 win over SV Mattersburg on the final day of the season. However Hosiner failed to replicate his goal-scoring exploits in the final of the Austrian Cup on 30 May 2013, as Austria Wien fell to a 1−0 defeat to third division side FC Pasching, thanks to a goal from Daniel Sobkova. Hosiner was injured at the start of his second season at Austria Vienna, but he still managed to score 14 league goals in his final season at the club, before his move to French club Rennes.
