Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt (14 November 1668 – 16 November 1745) was an Italian-trained Austrian architect who designed many stately buildings and churches. Among his more important works are the palaces for Count Schönborn in Göllersdorf (1712–1717) and the palaces for Prince Eugene of Savoy (the two Belvedere palaces in Vienna, 1713–1723, Schloßhof, 1729, and the Savoy Castle in Ráckeve.).
