Magvető is a Hungarian book publishing company based in Budapest. It primarily publishes domestic and international works of literary fiction. History Magvető was established in 1955 as a publisher of the Magyar Írók Szövetsége (now the Hungarian Writers' Association).

Such works included Endre Fejes's ''Rozsdatemető'', Géza Ottlik's ''Hajnali háztetők'' and Ferenc Sánta's ''Húsz óra''. Magvető published works by Iván Mándy, Miklós Més ...
