Hermesvilla is an imperial villa in Vienna that was a present by emperor Franz Joseph I to his wife empress Elisabeth.

The villa was build in 1886 under the architect Karl von Hasenauer in the style of a historic country manor. The interior decoration and paintings were arranged and executed by Hans Makart.

Today it is a museum housing memorabilia of the empress.
