An Austrophile is somebody who is fond of Austrian culture and Austria in general but not born there.

It was later sometimes taken as part of a wider Germanophile attitude and generally linked to the admiration of the Germanic culture of the German-speaking world or countries, mainly Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
