Icebreaker Eisvogel (English: Kingfisher) is an icebreaker employed by the Port of Vienna, Austria.[2][3][4][5][6] Eisvogel clears ice in all three of Vienna's harbors. She is employed when the ice becomes a few centimetres in thickness. In 1985 she cleared ice that was 60 centimetres (24 in) thick.

In ice-free months the vessel is employed for official tours.[7]

The German Navy built a 560-ton icebreaker, also named Eisvogel, which was sold off and is operated as a tugboat out of the port of Trieste.[8]
