1953–54 Austrian football championship

The 1953-54 Austrian football championship  was organized  by the Austrian Football Association. The Staatsliga B, which was also professionally run, served as a substructure to the State League A. Only clubs from Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland, Upper Austria and Styria played in it. For the clubs from western Austria, the Tauernliga (Salzburg, Carinthia) and the Arlbergliga (Tirol, Vorarlberg) were organized on an amateur basis. The respective regional leagues of the federal states acted as the third performance level.

Rapid Wien became Austrian football champions for the 19th time this season. For SV Austria Salzburg it was the first season in the Austrian top league.
