Archduke Sigismund Francis of Austria
- Archduke Sigismund Francis of Austria
: "For other nobles of the same name, please see Sigismund."Sigismund Francis, Archduke of Further Austria (November 27, 1630 in Innsbruck – June 25, 1665 in Innsbruck) was the ruler of Further Austria including Tyrol from 1662 to 1665.
The second son of Archduke Leopold V and Claudia of Medici was ordained as bishop of Augsburg in 1646 without being a priest. In 1653, he became bishop of Gurk and in 1659 bishop of Trent.
After the death of his brother Archduke Ferdinand Charles, he became Archduke of Further Austria. He was more able than his brother and could have made him a good ruler, but with his early death in 1665 the younger Tyrolean line of the Habsburg house ended. Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, who as the heir male succeeded Sigismund Francis, took direct control over the government of Further Austria and Tyrol.
