Ottokár Prohászka (Hungarian: Prohászka Ottokár; 10 October 1858 – 2 April 1927) was a Hungarian Roman Catholic theologian and Bishop of Székesfehérvár from 1905 until his death.
Prohászka was born in Nyitra (today Nitra, Slovakia). In October 1918, he published the influential antisemitic tract Kultúra és Terror (Culture and Terror), which contributed to the increase in violent antisemitism that culminated in the White Terror. Prohászka has been described as "one of the founders of political antisemitism in Hungary".[2]
He died in Budapest.
