Archduke John of Austria (German: Erzherzog Johann von Österreich) was the thirteenth child of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II and his wife, Maria Louisa of Spain. He was an Austrian field marshal and imperial regent of the short-lived German Empire during the Revolutions of 1848.

He was married morganatically in a night ceremony in Brandhof on February 18, 1827 to Anna Plochl, the daughter of Jakob Plochl, postmaster of Aussee, and his wife Maria Anna Pilz. Because of this morganatic marriage, John was excluded from the succession to the throne. Anna was created Freiin von Brandhofen in 1834 and in 1839 she gave birth to a son, Franz, the only child from the marriage. His descendants were styled Graf von Meran and Freiherr von Brandhofen.
