Franz Joseph von Schlik of Bassano and Weisskirchen (Prague, 23 May 1789 – Vienna, 17 March 1862) was a count and general in the Austrian Empire.

His victories were a warning to the Hungarian Military Commission who recruited approximately 10,000 men around Miskolc under Lázár Mészáros's command, but Schlik defeated him on 28 December 1848 in the Battle of Szikszó and on 4 January 1849 in Kassa.

Richard Guyon's victory in the Battle of Branyiszkó created the possibility that Schlik would be surrounded, but Henryk Dembiński would not change his plans.

Julius Jacob von Haynau moved the Austrian legions in three parallel lines against the Hungarians at Szeged.

Schlik was the leader of the line that was advancing towards Makó and fought to cross the River Maros on 5 August.
