The Rothschild Hospital was founded in 1869 by Baron Anselm von Rothschild in Vienna, Austria. It served as a clinic for neurological disorders, with among others Viktor Frankl as its leaders. After the war, it was a hospital for sick and infirm displaced persons in the American zone of occupation in Austria. It housed as many as 600 refugees.
Although it was administered by the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde ("Community of the Israelite Cult", i.e., Jewish community) of Vienna, much support was provided by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
The building that housed the on Währinger Gürtel 97 is now the site for a chamber of commerce.
