Weißpriach is a municipality in the district of Tamsweg in the state of Salzburg in Austria. It is located in a valley of the Niedere Tauern mountain range.

==History== Weißpriach is known for the Romanesque church of Saint Rupert with its Byzantine frescoes. The foundations probably date from the Christianization under the rule of Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria in the 8th century and may have replaced a Roman temple.
