Baron Béla Bánhidy de Simánd (February 17, 1836 – June 18, 1890) was a Hungarian politician and Member of Parliament.
He was elected to a member of the Diet of Hungary in 1875 as a MP for Kisjenő (today: Chişineu-Criş, Romania). After the Occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1878) he withdrew from the Liberal Party and formed the Independent Liberal Party which soon merged into the Right-wing Opposition. He became first chairman of the newly formed Moderate Opposition which later was renamed to National Party in 1891.
Bánhidy lost his mandate in the 1878 elections. He conducted journalistic activities for newspapers in Budapest. Later he moved to Arad (today in Romania).
