Biatorbágy (German: Wiehall-Kleinturwall) is a town in Pest County, Budapest metropolitan area, Hungary. It has a population of 13,889 (2019). It was created in 1966 by the merger of Bia (German: Wiehall) and Torbágy (German: Kleinturwall).
On 13 September 1931 a demented man (Szilveszter Matuska) blasted the train to Vienna on the viaduct of Biatorbágy. Killing 22 and injuring up to 122 people, 17 severely, it has been the most notorious sabotage on his crime history.
