János Veres (born 5 February 1957) is a Hungarian politician, who served as Minister of Finance between 2005 and 2009.

He also served as mayor of Nyírbátor since 2002, but resigned in the next year, because he was appointed state secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

Veres had many conflicts with the HírTV, which supports the conservative right-wing politics and the biggest opposition party, Fidesz.

On the next day the two journalists appeared at the press conference in a visibility waistcoat.

The minister repeatedly threatened the channel with a judicial lawsuit, when the reporters asked about his sons' charge.
