Karl Graf (26 October 1904 – 1 January 1956) was an Austrian footballer. He played for different teams in Vienna. He also played in two matches for the Austria national football team between 1928 and 1932.

Career

After several stints at lower-class clubs, Graf made his debut in the first division for FC Ostmark in 1923. 1924 he moved to First Vienna FC where he rarely played. 1926 he went to Floridsdorfer AC. 1927 he went on to FK Austria Wien. During this time, Austria could never play for the title in the championship. Graf was only able to win his first title in 1933, when Austria won the ÖFB Cup 1-0 against Brigittenauer AC. In this year they also won the Mitropacup. In 1934 Graf left Austria and played for Wiener Sport-Club until 1942.

National team

In May 1928 Graf made his debut for the national team when Yugoslavia was defeated 3-0 in Vienna. The second and last match in the national team followed in July 1932 versus Sweden because the competition on his position was high at that time.
