Balatonszárszó is a village along the southern shore of Lake Balaton in Somogy county, Hungary. The settlement is part of the Balatonboglár wine region, and belongs to the region of Southern Transdanubia. The village is famous for being the home and place of death of the renowned Hungarian poet József Attila.

== History == The village was first inhabited in the Neolithic, and archeological remains suggest it has been continuously inhabited since then. It is first mentioned in writing in 1082 by the name Zarrosozow, but this early medieval village lays about 1km south of the current village. Under the Turkish occupation, the village was depopulated and repopulated multiple times.
