Baron Béla Orczy de Orczi (16 January 1822 – 7 February 1917) was a Hungarian politician and freedom fighter, who served as Interior Minister between 1887 and 1889. He was also Minister of Home Defence for several months in 1884. He took part in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, he fought against the rebelling Serbs in the area of Délvidék. He was the de facto Minister of Foreign Affairs between 1879 and 1890. His paternal grandfather was the poet Lőrinc Orczy.
Gyula Andrássy secured Belá Orczy's appointment to the foreign ministry, as part of his effort to increase Hungarian influence in Austro-Hungarian foreign policy.[1]
