Magdolna Ruzsa ([ˈmɒɡdolnɒ ˈruːʒɒ]; Serbian: Ruzha Magdolna, Ruza Magdolna) or simply Magdi Ruzsa (born 28 November 1985 in Titov Vrbas, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Hungarian pop singer who won the 2006 title of Megasztar ("Megastar"), Hungary's nationwide talent search, that resembles, but is not based on, Pop Idol. As the winner of the category "Newcomer of the Year" at the Fonogram Hungarian Music Awards in 2007, she represented Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland with the song "Unsubstantial Blues". She finished ninth and won a Marcel Bezencon Award in the Best Composer category. She often performs songs by her favorite singer, Janis Joplin.

After winning the competition, Ruzsa's album, featuring the songs she performed during the show's finals, went triple platinum and to date has sold around 80,000 copies. Her first artist album Ordogi Angyal (Devilish Angel) was released on her birthday (November 28, 2006), and has sold 36,000 copies so far.

Ruzsa was voted New Talent of the Year in 2006, representing Hungary at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki. She decided to sing in English because she felt that the lyrics of the song are of high importance and wanted people to understand what Unsubstantial Blues was all about. The semi-finals took place on May 10, 2007, and Ruzsa made her way to the finals in second place with 224 points. At the final on May 12, 2007, she finished ninth with 128 points. Being the songwriter of Unsubstantial Blues, she was also granted the Best Composer Award, which is given to the best songwriter among the Eurovision song composers every year.
