Count Albin Csáky de Körösszeg et Adorján (19 April 1841 – 15 December 1912) was a Hungarian politician, who served as Minister of Religion and Education between 1888 and 1894. He finished his secondary school studies in Lőcse, then he learnt in Kassa. He became representative of the Diet of Hungary in 1862. 1900–1906 and 1910–1912 he served as Speaker of the House of Magnates.
As minister for religion and education in 1890, Csáky introduced an ordinance to enforce the existing mixed-marriage laws, which stipulated that children of mixed marriages should be baptised in the faith corresponding to the parent of the same sex. The Catholic Church had been regularly defying these laws, and Csáky hoped to bring an end to this, but his actions provoked a strong hostile reaction from the Church.[1]
