Count Kálmán Hunyady de Kéthely (born 13 October 1828, died 17 May 1901) was a Hungarian nobleman from the Hunyady family.
He was the first president of the Viennese Harness Racing Club (Wiener Trabrenn-Verein) that was founded in 1874. Four years later the club opened a racing track in Leopoldstadt, Vienna. Krieau racecourse is the second oldest race track in Europe.
Hunyady died in 1901 and a horse race was soon established for his honour. The annual Graf Kalman Hunyady Memorial at Krieau is one of the oldest international races in European harness racing.
Kálmán Hunyady's sister was Júlia Hunyady de Kéthely. She was the Princess consort of Serbia as the wife of Mihailo Obrenović III.
