Vienna Listeni/vˈænə/ is a city in Johnson County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,434 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Johnson County and the site of two well-known state penitentiaries.

The town's name is pronounced differently, by most people, from the English name for the Austrian capital of the same name.

Heron Pond - Little Black Slough Nature Preserve, a National Natural Landmark, is nearby.

The Tunnel Hill State Trail trail-head and headquarters is located in Vienna.

The Trail of Tears halfway point commemorative totem and flags are located in the adjacent city park.

Vienna is home to the Johnson County Courthouse, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. This courthouse is the oldest still-working courthouse to date. Court hearings have been held here longer than any courthouse in the entire state. The Vienna Public Library, across the street from the courthouse, is also listed on the National Register.
