Emeric Thököly de Késmárk (Hungarian: késmárki Thököly Imre; Slovak: Imrich Tököli; 25 September 1657 – 13 September 1705) was prince of Upper Hungary from 1682 to 1685, and prince of Transylvania in 1690.
His father, Count István Thököly, held large domains in Royal Hungary.
Emeric's mother, Mária Gyulaffy, was related to three princes of Transylvania.
He was a child when he inherited his mother's estates in Transylania proper and the domains of his uncle, Count Francis Rhédey, Prince of Transylvania, in Máramaros County.
István Thököly was involved in the leading aristocrats' conspiracy against the Habsburg monarch, Leopold I, and died fighting against the royal troops in late 1670.
Emeric fled to the Principality of Transylvania and his estates in Royal Hungary were confiscated.
