Hilda Köppl (born 21 March 1905) was an Austrian track and field athlete, being active during the 1920s, the early era of women’s athletics in Austria. She is regarded as one of the main pre-World War II Austrian athletes. 

She was specialized in the discus throw and shot put. She was a member of Danubia. 

During the 1926 Austrian National Championships, Köppl won the 5kg shot put with a distance of 9.57 metres. That was at the time a world record distance. However it was not officially recognized by the former FSFI, and not approved by the FSFI, though listed in IAAF publications as being a 4 kg record.
