Magyar Nemzet is a major Hungarian newspaper. Its name literally means "Hungarian nation".

The original, moderate conservative daily was founded by Sándor Petheő in 1937. It fused with the other conservative daily Napi Magyarország in April 2000.

This newspaper is considered to be close to the FIDESZ party and often voices support for the Viktor Orbán-led party. Its editorials often speak out against the current government and the decline of Hungary since the lost 2002 election. (Népszabadság is said to be the newspaper that most supports the current socialist MSZP/SZDSZ government.) The Magyar Nemzet's editorials often complain about bias of the more readily available Népszabadság and the current government's de-facto censorship by cutting off funds for conservative news (source: BBC report on the Hungarian press).
