The Lower Austrian peasant uprisings in 1596 and 1597 were a peasant uprising in Lower Austria that was directed against the landlords . It was related to the Second Upper Austrian Peasant Uprising (1595–1597).

The rebellions that flared up again and again particularly affected the Waldviertel and ended with corporal punishment of the rebels and their leaders. In some cases, death sentences were imposed. One of the leaders was the Puchenstuben landlord Christian Haller .
