István Bujtor (born Frenreisz, Budapest, May 5, 1942 - Budapest, September 25, 2009) Balázs Béla Prize-winning Hungarian actor, film director, screenwriter, producer. His mother is the eldest child of Károly Gundel, a famous Budapest innkeeper, Katalin Gundel (1910–2010). His half-brother is Zoltán Latinovits, the child born from his mother's first marriage. His father id. István Frenreisz was an internist, cardiologist, and his brother Károly Frenreisz was a Kossuth Prize-winning rock musician. On the advice of film director Márton Keleti, he took the name Bujtor after his paternal great-grandfather during his first film role.
His first wife was violinist Eszter Perényi, his son Balázs Bujtor was a violinist (born June 13, 1975), his daughter was Anna Bujtor, a lawyer, drama teacher (born February 20, 1979), and his second wife was Judit Bujtor.

The Bujtor Ring is an award founded in 2011 to recognize the background workers of the Petőfi Theater in Veszprém.
On May 5, 2013, on the 71st anniversary of his birth, his entire statue was inaugurated in Vitorlás Square, Balatonfüred. The work of the Mihály Munkácsy Prize-winning sculptor Ádám Farkas depicts Bujtor as a helmsman on the ship Rabonbán (cruiser 30).
