  Zoltán van Hongarije (*ca. 896 - 947), (ook bekend als Zolta en Zaltas), was een heerser over de Magyaren in de vroege 10e eeuw. Hij was (waarschijnlijk) een zoon van Árpád, de stichter van het rijk in het Karpatenbekken, en de vader van Taksony. De Gesta Hungarorum noemt Zoltán als de zoon en opvolger van Árpád. Hoewel hij regeerde van 907 tot 948, had zijn leiderschap minder te betekenen dan bij vorige heersers, omdat gedurende zijn tijd de stamhoofden de werkelijke macht hadden. Recent onderzoek trekt zijn positie als heerser in twijfel, en geeft de voorkeur aan oudere zoons van Árpád.
  
  Zoltán zou in 904 zijn getrouwd met de erfdochter van Menmarót van Bihar, een Moravische legeraanvoerder. In 906 zou hij zijn schoonvader hebben opgevolgd als stadhouder van Moravië. Zoltán zou heel goed de belangrijke Hongaarse prins kunnen zijn die 922 door de Saksen gevangen werd genomen en na langdurige onderhandelingen werd vrijgelaten, in ruil voor 9 jaar vrede.

  Zoltán (died 947 or 948), also known as Zolta, Zsolt or Solt, according to the mediaeval chronicles, was the third Grand Prince of the Hungarians from 907 to 947.[1]

  Life
  
  He was the fifth and youngest son of Grand Prince Árpád,[2] who died about 907. The 13th century Gesta Hungarorum by Bele Regis Notarius (Anonymous) name Zolta as the successor of his father, and also mentions that he in 904 had married a daughter of Menumorut, the local military leader in the region of Bihar (Romanian: Biharea) at the time of the Hungarian Conquest of the Carpathian Basin (Hungarian: Honfoglalás).
  
  Later researchers like Györffy György questioned his position as a ruler and prefer other sons of Árpád. In any case, his leadership meant much less than with his father, as during his time, several tribal leaders such as legendary Szabolcs of the Csák dynasty held most of the power. In this era, Hungarian raids (kalandozások) were common in much of Europe. Zoltán may have been the Hungarian prince captured by the German king Henry the Fowler near Werla Castle in 924, as mentioned in the Res gestae saxonicae by the Saxon chronicler Widukind of Corvey.
  
  According to the principle of agnatic seniority, Zoltán upon his death was succeeded by his nephew Fajsz, son of his elder brother Jutas.
