The Luserfall is a waterfall on the southern slopes of the Dachstein massif in the Ennstal valley, Styria. It lies between Weißenbach and Rössing, both in the municipality of Haus, and is protected as a natural monument. The waterfall forms a steep section of the Luserbach stream, which flows from the Luserwand of the Miesberge down to the Enns via the Weißenbach (Ramsaubach).

The Luserfall drops about forty metres in two cascades, hidden deep in the forest. It is recognised as a natural monument over a length of sixty metres and covers an area of 226 square metres. The site borders the buffer zone of the UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Landscape of Hallstatt–Dachstein/Salzkammergut. A footpath leads from the L752 Rössing road near Weißenbach to the Burgstaller inn near Rössing.

Visitors reach the waterfall along a marked trail that winds through dense woodland. The path is quiet and little used, giving a sense of seclusion. At the site the stream plunges over two rock ledges into a small plunge pool below. The surrounding forest adds to the sense of being far from any settlement.
