Erik Bánki (born May 26, 1970)[1] is a Hungarian politician, member of the National Assembly (MP) from 1998 to 2012 and from 2014 to 2026.[2]

He served as Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Sport and Tourism from May 14, 2010, to June 10, 2012.[2] He is a Member of Board of the Hungarian Football Federation from 2009.[1]

Bánki became Member of the European Parliament (MEP) on June 10, 2012, replacing János Áder, who was elected President of Hungary in May 2012. As a result, Bánki had to resign from his national parliamentary seat.[3] He was re-elected Hungarian MP in the 2014 parliamentary election. He became Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Economics in October 2015, serving in this capacity until May 2026. Bánki was re-elected MP via the joint national list of Fidesz-KDNP during the 2018 and 2022 Hungarian parliamentary elections. After the 2026 Hungarian parliamentary election, where Fidesz–KDNP suffered a heavy defeat and fell from power, Bánki did not take up his mandate.[4]

Personal life

Bánki is divorced and is the father of 4 children.[5]
