Lawrence Zámbó de Mezőlak (Hungarian: mezőlaki Zámbó Lőrinc; died May 1402)[1] was a Hungarian cleric, who served as Provost of the St. Martin's Cathedral in Pressburg (Hungarian: Pozsony; today Bratislava, Slovakia) between 1384 and 1402.[2][3]

As the son of Martin, he was a member of the Zámbó family which belonged to the kindred Pápa. His uncle was the influential royal treasurer and judge Nicholas Zámbó. Lawrence and his elder brother John also took the Zámbó surname after their uncle. Lawrence was first mentioned by contemporary records in 1374.[4] He attended the University of Prague in 1383, then the University of Vienna in 1384.[2]

During his term as Provost of Pressburg, he had several jurisdictional conflicts and debates with the vicar of the nominal supervisional Archdiocese of Esztergom, the local Cathedral Chapter of Pressburg, and with the canons from the surrounding areas too.[5] He was the last provost in Pressburg who was appointed as a candidate of a Pope.[1]
