Franz Josef Callistus Wolfinger (14 October 1820 – 20 March 1893) was a politician from Liechtenstein who served in the Landtag of Liechtenstein from 1862 to 1882.[1] He was also mayor of Balzers from 1867 to 1870.[2]

Wolfinger worked as a postmaster in Balzers of the Thurn-und-Taxis Post from 1850, which he had taken over from his father.[3][4] He was a judge in Balzers from 1860 to 1863.

He married Regina Getzner (13 November 1820 – 18 May 1864) on 11 May 1846 and they had eight children together. He then went on to marry Carolina Thoma (1837 – Unknown) on 8 January 1866 and they had another two children together.[3] His son from his second marriage, Emil Wolfinger, also served in the Landtag.[5]
