József Kristóffy (17 September 1857 – 29 March 1928) was a Hungarian politician who served as Minister of the Interior from 18 June 1905 to 8 April 1906 in Géza Fejérváry’s government. The cabinet supported universal suffrage. Kristóffy tried to form a coalition with the Social-Democrat Party, the main opposition at the time, in what was known as the Kristóffy-Garami Pact, but the effort failed. He belonged to the Liberal Party and later the Party of National Work. He was born in Makó and died in Budapest at the age of 70.
