Franz Theodor Csokor (6 September 1885 – 5 January 1969) was an Austrian author and dramatist, particularly well known for his expressionist dramas.

He spent World War II in Poland, Romania and Hungary before ending up in Italy after the fall of Mussolini in 1944, where he lived in Rome.

Despite travel restrictions in place at the time, Csokor returned to Vienna in 1946, dressed in a British uniform.

During the Allied occupation of Austria which lasted until 1955, Csokor settled in the British sector of Vienna, working as a freelance journalist for newspapers such as the Wiener Zeitung.

A convinced humanist, Csokor spoke up in his dramas for peace, freedom and human rights.
