Balázs Magyar

Balázs Magyar (c. 1410–c. 1490) was a Hungarian general, a follower of John Hunyadi who became a leading captain of Matthias Corvinus's Black Army. From 1470 he guarded the southern marches and held senior commands, including Voivode of Transylvania in 1472–1475, supporting Moldavia against the Ottomans.

He fought the Hussites in Bohemia and helped take Veglia in 1479, though the island could not be held against the Venetian fleet. In 1480 he led a force to Italy that recaptured Otranto from the Turks.

He retired to western Hungarian estates and died at Kassa in 1490. His daughter Benigna and her husband Pál Kinizsi inherited his property.
