Ernst Kalinka (5 February 1865, Vienna – 15 June 1946, Hall in Tirol) was an Austrian classical philologist and archaeologist.
He is considered to be a typical representative of the erstwhile Viennese school of classical studies, in which, the disciplines of philology, epigraphy and archaeology were intertwined as an inseparable unity.
Following study trips to Germany, France, Italy and Greece, he conducted research in the Asia Minor section of the Ottoman Empire (1892–94) in preparation for the publication of "Tituli Asiae Minoris", a project directed by the Vienna Academy.
In 1896 he obtained his habilitation for classical philology at the University of Vienna, and during the following year, took part in a research trip to Bulgaria.
[1] In 1898 he was appointed secretary of the newly founded Österreichisches Archäologisches Institut (ÖAI).
