Koháry was a Hungarian noble family with seats at Csábrág and Szitnya, now Čabrad and Sitno within Slovakia. Kohárys belonged among magnates of Hungary.

In 1815, the head of the house, the then imperial chancellor Ferenc József (1760-1826), was given an Austrian princely title. Only one child, daughter named Antónia (1797-1862), was born from his marriage to Maria Antonia, Countess of Waldstein-Wartenberg. Antónia was proclaimed heiress of the name (fíúsított) and subsequently her husband Ferdinand, Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha took the name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Koháry.
