Gernot Trauner (German pronunciation: [ˈɡeːɐ̯noːt ˈtʁaʊ̯nɐ];[2][3] born 25 March 1992) is an Austrian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eredivisie club Feyenoord, which he captains, and the Austria national team.

Trauner progressed through different youth teams in Upper Austria, before making his debut in professional football as part of LASK in 2010. Sidelined by injury in the 2011–12 season, he made the move to SV Ried in 2012 where he made his breakthrough in the Austrian Bundesliga. He returned to LASK in 2017 under head coach Oliver Glasner where he grew into one of the best centre-backs in the league, and also experienced European success. In 2021, he joined Eredivisie club Feyenoord, where he reached the UEFA Europa Conference League final in his first season and was voted into the Team of the Season.

He made his debut for the Austria national team in 2018 in a friendly against Denmark.
