Joseph Bergler the Elder (1718–1788) was an Austrian sculptor.
Bergler was born in Salzburg, the father of painter Joseph Bergler the Younger (1753–1829).
The Kapuzinerberg is a hill on the eastern bank of the Salzach river in the city of Salzburg in Austria, and the site of a Capuchin cloister built in 1599–1605 on the site of a medieval fortress. On the way of the Linzergasse to the monastery stand 13 oratories with the way of the cross, which were built up between 1736 and 1744, by Bergler as well as Lorenz Hörmbler.
Bergler commenced with the initial training of his son in Passau in Lower Bavaria.
