Hans Tichy (27 July 1861, in Brno – 28 October 1925, in Vienna) was an Austrian artist and a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.

He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna from 1880 to 1884, under Christian Griepenkerl and August Eisenmenger. Tichy was also a student of the genre painter August von Pettenkofen.[1]

He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession.[2] He was elected to the presidency of the group in 1902.[3][4] His painting, At the Fountain of Love, was exhibited with the group;[5] it won him the Reichel Prize from the Academy,[6] and it was bought by the Moderne Galerie (now the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere).[7]

With Richard Kauffungen in 1900, he ran classes for a women's art school on drawing and painting from living models.[8] In 1914, he was made a professor of the Vienna Academy.[9]
