Hubertus Czernin (born Hubertus Alexander Felix Franz Maria Czernin von und zu Chudenitz; 17 January 1956 – 10 June 2006) was an Austrian investigative journalist.

From the mid-1980s to his untimely death in 2006, he was one of the most important journalists in the German-speaking world and a key figure in Austria.[1] He is most known in Austria for helping to expose the child sex abuse scandal of Archbishop of Vienna Groer as well as the Nazi past of former United Nations Secretary-General and Austrian President Kurt Waldheim, and is most known in the United States for being instrumental in the eventual restitution of Gustav Klimt's Adele Bloch-Bauer I - as depicted in the movie Woman in Gold - to its rightful Jewish heirs.[2]
