Lands of the Hungarian Crown

The "Lands of the Hungarian Crown" was the titular expression of Hungarian pretensions to the various territories that the King of Hungary ruled nominally or absolutely.

For the territories of the Kingdom of Hungary as constituents of Austria-Hungary, see Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen.

They are distinct from the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, which referred to a constituent part of the territory of Austria-Hungary following the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 up until the dissolution of the empire in 1918 at the end of World War I.
