Hermann Beyfuss (also Beyfus, born December 16, 1855 in Vienna , † February 3, 1898 ibid) was an Austrian academic painter.

Beyfuss studied at the KuK Academy of Fine Arts Vienna from 1874 under Christian Griepenkerl and Carl Wurzinger , then at the Royal Academy of Arts in Munich , but without an entry in the academy's register book.

After completing his studies, Hermann Beyfuss returned to Vienna and devoted himself to portrait and genre painting with a preference for scenes from monastic and monastic life.

In 1885 he became a member of the Künstlerhaus , in which he often exhibited. In 1896 he declared his departure from the Mosaic faith. Hermann Beyfuss died at the age of 42 and found his final resting place at the Hietzinger Friedhof (group 11, number 118; the date of birth is December 15, 1855). His brother-in-law, the Mayor of Vienna Raimund Grübl , and his uncle, the lawyer and politician Heinrich Jaques , were also buried in the family grave.

In 1954 the Beyfusgasse in Vienna-Liesing was named after him.
