Victor Félix Schiffner (10 August 1862, Böhmisch-Leipa – 1 December 1944, Baden bei Wien) was an Austrian bryologist specializing in the study of hepatics.
He studied natural sciences at the University of Prague, where he subsequently worked as a lecturer and as an assistant to Heinrich Moritz Willkomm at the botanical garden.
Between 1895 and 1943 Schiffner edited several exsiccatae and exsiccata-like series distributing a large number of specimens, among others the series Expositio plantarum in itinere suo indico annis 1893-1894 suscepto collectarum speciminibusque exsiccatis distributarum, adjectis descriptionibus novarum (abbrev.Iter Indicum 1893-1894).
