József Balogh

József Balogh (12 June 1893 – 2 April (?) 1944) was a Hungarian publicist, philologist, and literary historian.

Biography József Balogh's original family name was Blum. It was due to his father Ármin, the history and literature teacher at the Rabbinical Seminary of Budapest, that he adopted the Hungarian name, Balogh. It was Ármin's connection to the Kornfeld financial family that led Balogh to build an intimate friendship with his future patron Móric Kornfeld, a son-in-law of the industrialist Manfréd Weiss. Both Balogh and Kornfeld converted to Roman Catholicism.

Balogh's main contribution was the creation of The Hungarian Quarterly.
