Victor Varconi, nato Mihály Várkonyi, (Kisvárda, 31 marzo 1891 – Santa Barbara, 6 giugno 1976), è stato un attore ungherese naturalizzato statunitense. Fu il primo attore ungherese a lavorare a Hollywood. Stella del cinema in patria e in Germania, si trasferì in California, dove venne messo sotto contratto da Cecil B. DeMille, che gli affidò il ruolo di Ponzio Pilato nel film Il re dei re (1927). Dopo aver lasciato l'Ungheria, usò dapprima il nome Michael Varkonyi per poi, negli Stati Uniti, cambiarlo definitivamente in quello di Victor Varconi.
