Hans Peter Doskozil (German pronunciation: [ˈhans ˈpeːtɐ ˈdɔskotsiːl]; born 21 June 1970) is an Austrian politician of the Social Democratic Party of Austria serving as governor of Burgenland. He previously served as minister of defence from 2016–2017. In the 2020 Burgenland state election, he led his party to win a majority of the seats in Burgenland's parliament. Due to an error in the count of his party’s national congress in June 2023, he was assumed to be the SPÖ’s party leader from 3 to 5 June 2023, when the error was discovered and his opponent Andreas Babler was declared party leader.
