Gábor Klauzál (1804–1866) was a key Hungarian liberal politician during the 1848 Revolution. Born in Temesvár (now Timișoara, Romania), he studied law and entered politics early, serving in the Diet of Hungary from 1832. A leader of the opposition against absolutism, he advocated moderate reforms and closer ties with Austria while pushing for constitutional government, serf emancipation, and economic modernization.
In 1848, he became Minister of Agriculture, Industry, and Trade in the revolutionary Batthyány government, focusing on agrarian reforms and trade policies amid the push for independence. Klauzál opposed radical separation from the Habsburg Empire, favoring negotiation. He condemned the murder of Austrian minister Lamberg and withdrew from active politics as fighting escalated. Later, he supported the Deák Party's compromise in the 1860s, helping restore Hungary's autonomy.
