Debrecen (Duits: Debrezin) is met 200.974 inwoners (2021) de tweede stad van Hongarije. Het is gelegen in het oosten van het land, in de Hongaarse laagvlakte (Alföld). Het is de hoofdstad van het comitaat Hajdú-Bihar. Sinds 1954 heeft de stad de status van "stad met comitaatsrecht" (megyei jogú város). Debrecen kreeg in 1361 stadsrechten. In 1849, tijdens de Hongaarse onafhankelijkheidsstrijd tegen de Oostenrijkse Habsburgse keizer, was de stad tijdelijk hoofdstad van Hongarije. In Debrecen zijn de Universiteit van Debrecen (Debreceni Egyetem, DE) en de Gereformeerde Theologische Universiteit (DRHE) gevestigd. De stad geldt als het geestelijke centrum van de Hongaarse Gereformeerde Kerk. Een tekst op een plaquette in het stadscentrum herinnert aan de bevrijding door admiraal Michiel de Ruyter in 1676 van zesentwintig Hongaarse predikanten, die door de Oostenrijkse keizer tot dwangarbeid op de galeien waren veroordeeld. Debrecen was in de 17e eeuw het centrum van de Hongaarse reformatie. In de kleine raadszaal van het Gereformeerde Collegium in de stad bevindt zich ook een schilderij van de 19e eeuwse Hongaarse kunstenaar , waarop de bevrijding van de predikanten is afgebeeld. De stad beschikt over een tweetal geneeskrachtige baden. De protestantse kerk van Debrecen heeft 3.000 zitplaatsen en is een van de grootste kerken van het land.
