The Hungarian War Commemorative Medal (Hungarian: Magyar Háborús Emlékérem) was a commemorative medal of the Kingdom of Hungary, established on 26 May 1929 by Miklós Horthy, Regent of Hungary, in a personal rescript addressed to Prime Minister Count István Bethlen. The statutes of the medal were approved by a further High Rescript dated 14 November 1929.
The medal was awarded to Hungarian military veterans of World War I, as well as to war widows, war orphans, civilians who contributed to the war effort, and, exceptionally, to individuals who demonstrated loyal service to the nation during and after the revolutionary period that followed the war. It existed in two classes, distinguished by the presence or absence of a steel helmet and crossed swords, denoting combatant and non-combatant service respectively.
The founding rescript was issued on the day of the dedication of the Heroes' Memorial (Hősi Emlékkő) in Budapest, at a ceremony commemorating Hungarian soldiers who died in defence of the country's historical borders during the 1914–1918 war.
