In Fiction
- Redl was played by Klaus Maria Brandauer in the 1985 István Szabó film Colonel Redl (see Oberst Redl at the Internet Movie Database)
- John Osborne's 1965 play A Patriot for Me is based on Redl's story
- A summary of Redl's career and its effect on the course of World War I is provided by Dennis Wheatley in his historical novel "The Second Seal"( 1950). Redl's successor, Ronge, also appears as himself - chief of Austro-Hungarian Intelligence. He is trying to foil the attempts of British Intelligence to find out what Austria intends for Serbia in 1914.
- The TV movie Get Smart Again is very much like the story of Redl, as it involves a scientist who is blackmailed by the terrorist organization KAOS into betraying his formula for weather control to prevent the revelation that he was once a woman. This betrayal is the cause of the whole mission on which Max is sent after being reactivated.
