László Detre (19 April 1906, Szombathely – 15 October 1974, Budapest) was a Hungarian astronomer well known for his work on variable stars. He was the director for many years of the Konkoly Observatory in Budapest (assuming the role in 1943), a professor of Budapest University, and editor of the Information Bulletin of Variable Stars of the International Astronomical Union.[1][2][3]

Discovered in 1940, asteroid 1538 Detre is named after him.

His two sons were prominent sailors: Szabolcs Detre (father of windsurfer Diána Detre) and Zsolt Detre.
