Veit Valentin Dengler (born 21 November 1968) is an Austrian politician and co-founder[1] of NEOS who has been serving as a member of the National Council since 2024.[2][3]

From 2013 to 2017, Dengler headed NZZ Mediengruppe.[4]

Expelled from his offices and the party itself for revolting against NEOS' political free riding[5] and their authoritarian leadership style[6] Dengler has been serving as independent politician since 10 July 2026.[7][8]

A major topic on Dengler's political agenda are serious reductions in Austria's lavish system[9] of political subsidies.[10] Independents may secure speaking time on their own rather than being stonewalled by the usual party restrictions on public speech at political institutions.[11] Dengler has repeatedly stated that he wants neutral Austria to join NATO.[12]
