Adolf Franz Karl Viktor Maria Loos (10 December 1870 23 August 1933) was a Moravian-born Austro-Hungarian architect.

. He was influential in European Modern architecture, and in his essay Ornament and Crime he repudiated the florid style of the Vienna Secession, the Austrian version of Art Nouveau. In this and many other essays he contributed to the elaboration of a body of theory and criticism of Modernism in architecture.
