Bedřich Wachsmann (24 May 1820 – 27 February 1897) was a German-speaking painter, decorator and architect from the Austrian Empire and later Austria-Hungary.

In addition to studies he began making stone portraits and miniatures.

In 1848 he moved to Innsbruck, where he painted landscapes for some 18 months.

His next place of work was Munich, where he became a noted figure on the local art scene and was then sought after as a teacher, achieving success at exhibitions in Salzburg, Linz, Vienna and Prague.

He was responsible for the reconstruction of the Cross Chapel at Prague Castle, internal changes in the Romanesque style (1868–69), renovation of the chapel at Archbishop's residence in Prague, illustrations in journals such as Světozor (after 1867) and Zlatá Praha (after 1884), other artwork in magazines and travelogues and an encyclopedic guide to Bohemia.
