Dóra Dúró (born 5 March 1987) is a Hungarian politician of the Our Homeland Movement, formerly spokesperson of the far-right[1] nationalist political party Jobbik.

After the 2010 elections, she was elected to the National Assembly of Hungary. Assuming office at the age of 23, she was the youngest member of the Országgyűlés until 2018. Her husband is Előd Novák, the former deputy leader of Jobbik.

In 2018, after her expulsion from Jobbik, she joined László Toroczkai's new party Our Home Movement and became the party's single MP.[2]

In 2008, Dúró married fellow politician Előd Novák in the Church of Our Lady of the Hungarians in Gellért Hill Cave. They have a daughter, Hunóra Kincső, and three sons, Bottyán János, Nimród Nándor and Zente Levente.[3]

In September 2020 Dúró said that the book titled Meseország mindenkié (Fairytaleland is for Everyone) is "homosexual propaganda". She tore out sheets and then shredded them in a paper shredder.[4][5][6][7][8] Many public figures criticized her actions,[9][10] and the Magyar Könyvkiadók és Könyvterjesztők Egyesülése (Association of Hungarian Publishers and Distributors) stated in a communication that this act was: "[In] Communion with the legacy of Nazi bookburners and communist book shreds."[11]
