Bálint Hóman (29 December 1885 – 2 June 1951) was a Hungarian scholar and politician who served as Minister of Religion and Education twice: between 1932–1938 and between 1939–1942.
His political rise to prominence came as part of a pro-Nazi party, and he is "considered the architect of laws that promoted the persecution of the country's Jewish population in the 1930s and '40s." He died in prison in 1951 for his support of the fascistic invasion of the Soviet Union as part of the Axis alliance in World War II.
