Alois Leopold Johann Baptist Graf Lexa von Aehrenthal (27 September 1854 – 17 February 1912) was a diplomat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. According to his biographer Solomon Wank, he exuded a strong monarchical-conservative outlook, loyalty to the Empire, and optimism regarding its ability to survive and flourish in the early-20th century. He became best known for promoting an energetic Austro-Hungarian foreign-policy in the Balkans, seeking cooperation with Russia and approval of Germany for actions that angered the South Slav element in the Balkans. As Imperial Foreign Minister between 1906 and 1912, Aehrenthal formulated and executed the Austro-Hungarian annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and their integration in 1908 into the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
