Ferenc Rónay or Francisc Rónay (29 April 1900 – 6 April 1967) was a Hungarian-Romanian footballer and manager.

Rónay was the first ever scorer of the Romania national football team, giving them the equaliser against Yugoslavia in their debut, part of the 1922 King Alexander's Cup. Romania went on to win the game 2–1 thanks to Aurel Guga.[1][2] He was also part of Romania's squad for the football tournament at the 1924 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.[3]
