The Szilágyi of Horogszeg (Hungarian: horogszegi Szilágyi) was an old and important medieval Hungarian noble family, whose members occupied many significant political and military positions in the Kingdom of Hungary and in the Principality of Transylvania.^[1]

The Szilágyi family traces it's origin from the region of the Szilágy-patak (present-day Sălaj River, part of Romania). The family intermarried with other important houses of the region, such as House of Basarab, House of Hunyadi, House of Rozgonyi etc.

Most specialists agree that the family died out in the Middle Ages.^[2] According to Zoltán W. Vityi, the noble Szilágyi de Horogszeg family who lived in Nyírgelse and Nyírmihálydi (in Szabolcs County in Hungary) in the 1930s were descendants of this medieval noble family.^[2]
