The Rákóczi (older spelling Rákóczy) were a noble family in the Kingdom of Hungary between the 13th century and 18th century. Their name is also spelled Rakoczi and Rakoczy in some foreign (English) sources.

Probably the most famous member of the family was Francis II Rákóczi (1676-1735) who was elected Ruling Prince of Transylvania 1703-1711 and led an anti-Habsburg war during that time.

Other notable members have included:

Sigismund Rákóczi - elected Prince of Transylvania 1607-1608
George (György) I Rákóczi - elected Prince of Transylvania 1630-1648
George II Rákóczi - Prince of Transylvania 1648-1657

The Rákóczi March composed by Ferenc Erkel in 1840 refers to them.
