Philipp Frankfurter (c. 1450 – 1511) was a writer from Vienna. He collected the humorous tales surrounding the "Priest from Kahlenberg" (Pfaff vom [or von] Kalenberg), published with a frame story in verse form as Des pfaffen geschicht und histori vom Kalenberg. It was printed as early as 1472 or 1480 in Augsburg. The "Priest from Kahlenberg" is a folkloristic trickster or prankster figure. A 1490 edition was printed by Heinrich Knoblochtzer in Heidelberg.
