The Hungarian literature is the body of written works primarily produced in the Hungarian language.

While it was less known in the English speaking world for centuries, Hungary's literature gained renown in the 19th and 20th centuries thanks to a new wave of internationally accessible writers like Mór Jókai, Antal Szerb, Sándor Márai, Imre Kertész and Magda Szabó.
