Sepp Helfrich (7 July 1900 – 27 January 1963) was an Austrian engineer employed by the state government of Styria. He joined the Nazi Party and, following the unification of Austria with Germany in 1938, served as the Landeshauptmann (governor) of Styria from March until May. He was elected to the German Reichstag in April 1938 and served until the end of the Second World War in May 1945. He was arrested for his Nazi past but did not receive any severe punishment. He resumed employment with the state government of Styria until his death in 1963.
