Moriz Benedikt (sometimes spelled Moritz) (27 May 1849 – 18 March 1920), a Viennese Jew born in Krasice, was a long-time editor of Neue Freie Presse and a powerful figure in Austrian politics and society.

He was subeditor from 1872 to 1880, then associate editor and editor-in-chief from 1908 to the day he died.^[1]

The satirist Karl Kraus was a persistent critic of Benedikt and his (and his paper's) consistent pro-Jewish stance.^[2]

He died in Vienna.
