Georg Totschnig (born May 25, 1971) is an Austrian former road bicycle racer who raced between 1993 and 2006.
In the 2005 Tour de France, he was in the breakaway in stage 14 from which he eventually won the stage. Having split open the breakaway on the penultimate climb on the day from fellow breakaway compatriots Stefano Garzelli and Walter Bénéteau, he was able to hold a gap to second placed Lance Armstrong on the final climb to Ax 3 Domaines, winning by 56 seconds. He was the first Austrian to win a stage in the Tour de France since Max Bulla in 1931.
