Dieter Sperl is an Austrian novelist and poet. He lives and works in Vienna, where he has been an editor for several publications.

His recent books include Random Walker (2005), a film journal of short texts inspired while watching movies, and Absichtslos (Unintentional, 2007), a novel in vignettes about Vienna.
