Greater Vienna (German: Groß-Wien) is the name given to the city of Vienna, which was enlarged by incorporations. The first attempts to create Greater Vienna were made during the Habsburg monarchy. After the "Anschluss" of Austria into the German Reich in 1938, Vienna was expanded to become the "largest city in the Reich in terms of area".

Today, the term "Greater Vienna" is mainly used to distinguish Vienna, which was enlarged by incorporations during the Nazi era, from today's city,[1] as most of these expansions were reversed during the occupation in 1954. The incorporations during the National Socialist era still have an impact on the region's infrastructure today. In the remaining urban area of Vienna, some of the district reorganizations carried out as part of the project were retained.
