Pál Várhidi (born Pál Vinkovics, in 6 November 1931) was a Hungarian football player and a manager. He played for Újpesti Dózsa as a defender and helped the club win the Hungarian League in 1959/60. He was born in Újpest, Hungary.

Between 1954 and 1957 Várhidi played 10 times for Hungary. The fringe member of the Mighty Magyars also took part in the 1954 World Cup but didn't play any games. He is most famous for his participation in the bronze medal winning Hungarian team on the 1960 Summer Olympic Games.
