Cecília Rozgonyi (1398–1434)[1] was a Hungarian noble.

She was the daughter of Peter Szentgyörgyi, an influential Hungarian nobleman.[2][self-published source][better source needed] She married another member of the kingdom's elite, Stephen Rozgonyi,[3] and had three sons with him: John, Stephen, and Emeric.[4][self-published source][better source needed]

Cecilia Rozgonyi became famous for her struggle against the Ottoman Empire under King Sigismund of Hungary[5] at Golubac fortress in 1428, commanding her own ship.[6] When the army was retreating Sigismund was attacked and Cecilia intervened, saving the life of the Hungarian king.[3][5]
