Vince Nagy de Losonc (4 March 1886, Satu Mare – 1 June 1965) was a Hungarian politician, who served as Interior Minister between 1918 and 1919 during the Hungarian Democratic Republic. After the establishment of the Hungarian Soviet Republic he returned to Szatmárnémeti, where the occupying Romanian Army imprisoned him for 9 months. From 1922 he was a lawyer. From 1928 he was the chairman of the Independence Party. After the German occupation (March 21, 1944) Nagy had to escape because of his anti-Nazi views. After the Second World War he rejected the cooperation with the Hungarian Communist Party (as FKGP member), that's why he excluded with 18 other members from the party.
From 1948 he lived in the United States. He took part in Hungarian emigrant politics; among other positions, he was an advisor at the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
