Leopold Karl von Kollonitsch (26 October 1631 – 20 January 1707), also spelt Collonicz, Colonitz, Kollonitz, Kolonits, and Kolonic, and called in Hungarian Kollonich Lipót, was a cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, Archbishop of Kalocsa and later of Gran, or Esztergom, and Primate of Hungary.
Also a count of the Holy Roman Empire, he was a leading figure of the Hungarian Counter-reformation. As an imperial minister, Kollonitsch was responsible for reorganizing the new Hungarian territories conquered from the Ottoman Empire and later ceded at the Treaty of Karlowitz.
He was said to have gained over one hundred thousand converts to Rome from Orthodox Christianity.
