Joseph Hasslwander , also Haßlwander, (born August 7, 1812 in Vienna , † August 3, 1878 in Scheibbs ) was an Austrian draftsman, painter and drawing teacher

Born as the son of a watchmaker, he was to take over the father's business and initially completed an apprenticeship as a watchmaker, but then studied from 1828 to 1836 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna . In 1848 he became a member of the Vienna Academy of Arts. He worked as a drawing teacher at the Realschule am Schottenfeld (1853–1856) and on the Wieden (1857–1878). In 1855 he was sent to Italy by Education Minister Leo von Thun and Hohenstein together with Christian Ruben and August Sicard von Sicardsburg to study the methods of drawing lessons. From 1858 he was director of the Viennese pension association for visual artists.

He was considered one of the best draftsmen in Vienna, for financial reasons he mainly created illustrations for magazines and books. He also created landscape paintings and designed the statues for the Elisabeth Bridge , which have stood on Vienna's Rathausplatz since 1902 . Many of his works served as templates for lithographs and steel engravings.

His son Friedrich Hasslwander (1840–1914) worked as a painter and writer. The Haßlwanderweg in Vienna- Aspern , settlement Am Müllnermais, has been named after him and his son Friedrich since 1928 .
