Lorenz Böhler (15 January 1885 in Wolfurt, Austria – 20 January 1973 in Vienna) was an Austrian physician and famous surgeon. Böhler is most notable as one of the creators—or even the creator—of modern accident surgery.
He was the head of the AUVA-Hospital in Vienna, Brigittenau, that was later named after him: Lorenz-Böhler-Unfallkrankenhaus.
This hospital was an international model during his time as the leading surgeon there.
In radiology, the measurement of Böhler's angle on a foot X-ray can help detect fractures of the calcaneus.
