Ferenc Herczeg (born Franz Herzog, 22 September 1863, Versec, Hungarian Kingdom - 24 February 1954, Budapest, Hungary) was a Hungarian playwright and author who promoted conservative nationalist opinion in his country. He founded and edited the magazine Új Idők ("New Times") in 1895, which remained for half a century the literary magazine of the conservative upper and middle classes of Hungary. In 1896 he was elected to parliament and in 1901 became the president of the Petőfi Society. In the early '50-s he was deported from Budapest to the Hungarian GULAG and released in 1953 - after Stalin's death, when the labor camps were liquideted. He died soon, in the next year.
