Wien Mitte is a rail and U-Bahn station in Vienna, close to the city centre.

When the S-Bahn opened in 1962, this station was renamed Landstraße, which remains the name of the U-Bahn portion.

In 1999, a proposal for the new Wien Mitte station building, which was to include two new high-rise buildings up to 97 metres, drew massive controversy from many Viennese residents as well as UNESCO, who questioned whether said proposal was compatible with the World Heritage Site status of the neighbouring Old Town.

The project in question was dropped in 2003, and a newer, heavily downsized project, which became the present station building and shopping centre (Wien Mitte The Mall), was constructed between 2007 and 2013.
