Leó Veigelsberg (18 January 1846 in Frauenkirchen – 31 October 1907 in Budapest) was a Hungarian publicist. Leó Veigelsberg was born at Frauenkirchen, Burgenland and was educated at Kiskorös, Budapest, and Vienna.
For a short time he taught in the Jewish public school in Kecskemét, where he wrote noteworthy political articles for several newspapers, especially the "Politik" of Prague; in 1867 he became a member of the editorial staff of the "Neuer Freier Lloyd," and in 1872 he became editor-in-chief of the Pester Lloyd.
His political leaders, usually signed with two asterisks, always attracted great attention.
His services as a publicist were recognized by Franz Joseph I, who conferred upon him the decoration of the Order of the Iron Crown (3rd class) on 9 July 1904. His son Hugó Veigelsberg was a significant author of the subsequent generation.
