Károly Nagy (6 December 1797 – 2 March 1868) was a Hungarian astronomer, mathematician, chemist and politician.[1] His observatory in Bicske was one of the most well-equipped observatories of Europe in the 19th century. It was destroyed during World War I. Only its main tower stands now.

After the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, he was imprisoned in the "Hungarian Bastille" Újépület. He offered his estate and his observatory to the Austrian emperor. Soon after he emigrated to Paris. He was the first Hungarian scientist who met an American president, Andrew Jackson, and the first Hungarian traveler, who wrote detailed coverage of the life of the Native Americans.
