Vilmos Kondor (born 1954) is the name (possibly pseudonym) of a successful Hungarian author. He's been dubbed as "the creator of Hungarian crime fiction".

His seven crime novels, known as the "Sinful Budapest" or "Budapest Noir" Cycle, depict the adventures of a journalist, Zsigmond Gordon, and are set in Budapest from the 1930s to the 1950s. They have become very popular in Hungary. The first novel in the cycle, ''Budapest Noir'', was adapted as a film directed by Éva Gárdos which premiered 2 November 2017.

Kondor has written a trilogy of historical thrillers about the fictional Wertheimer family's almost century-long affiliation with the Holy Crown of Hungary; a trilogy of contemporary police procedurals with political overtones featuring Detective Tibor Ferenczy; and a short novel, ''Az otthontalanság otthona'' (The home of homelessness), the income from which he donated to a charity that supported the migrants who arrived in Hungary during the crisis in 2015.

In 2022 he published the first of a series of mystery novels set in an alternate reality version of 20th century history, in which following the end of World War II Hungary does not become a communist Eastern Bloc nation, but rather develops into an independent and successful Switzerland-like capitalist country. Some of the same characters who appear in his "Sinful Budapest" cycle also appear or are referenced in the new counterfactual/speculative fiction series.

In April of 2023, the first novel in this series, ''Második magyar köztársaság'' (The Second Hungarian Republic) won the Péter Zsoldos Audience Choice Prize, an annual Hungarian literary award given to works in the imaginative fiction genre (science fiction, fantasy, supernatural horror, etc.) genre.

His novels and short stories have been turned into audiobooks, radio plays, a graphic novel, photo exhibitions, and an interactive smartphone app, Budapest walking tour and interactive mystery game. Provided by Wikipedia
