Berta Zuckerkandl-Szeps (born Bertha Szeps; 13 April 1864 – 16 October 1945)[1] was an Austrian writer, journalist, and art critic.

From 1888 until 1938,[2] Zuckerkandl led an important literary salon in Vienna, an informal weekly get-together, originally from a villa in Nußwaldgasse, Döbling,[3] later in the Oppolzergasse near the Burgtheater.

Many famous Viennese artists and personalities including Gustav Klimt, Gustav Mahler, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Max Reinhardt, Arthur Schnitzler Stefan Zweig, Egon Friedell and others, such as French sculptor Auguste Rodin when in Vienna, frequented the salon.

Her sister Sophie (1862–1937) was married to Paul Clemenceau, the brother of the French President Georges Clemenceau, and, therefore, she also had good ties to Parisian artistic circles.

She translated a number of plays from French to German and was a cofounder of the Salzburg Music Festival.
