Pál Szalay (born 30 June 1892, date of death unknown) was a Hungarian track and field athlete, football player and manager.

At the 1912 Summer Olympics he competed in the 100 metres, the 4 × 100 metres relay and the long jump. He represented the sports clubs Kőbánya TE and from 1911 MTK Budapest, becoming Hungarian champion in the 100 and 220 yard sprint events in 1913.[1] He also played football for MTK Budapest from 1910 to 1922, although his career was interrupted by service in World War I.[1]

After retiring as a player and athlete, he was a football manager in Italy for almost three decades.
