Viktor Külföldi, real name Jakab Mayer-Rubcsics, born Jacob Mayer (Template:Lang-hu) (1844 – March 5, 1894) was a Hungarian Socialist, journalist, and lecturer.

Born in Thalheim, Germany[1] (or Switzerland?[2]), he was known in his adopted country by the alias "Külföldi" (Hungarian for "foreigner").[1] In 1871 he became a member of the International Working Men's Association.[1] Together with Karóly Farkas [hu] (1842–1907) and Antal Ihrlinger [hu], he co-founded of the first Hungarian Socialist organization, the General Working Men's Union [hu] (Template:Lang-hu).[3] For organizing a strike by the GWMU, he, among others, was arrested (1871–2) and accused of high treason; he was eventually acquitted because of lack of evidence.[1][3]

In 1877 Külföldi founded the Social-democratic newspaper [Népszava] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) ("People's Voice"). He retired from the worker's movement in 1890 and died in Budapest in 1894.[1]
