Mezőkövesd [ˈmɛzøːkøvɛʒd] is a town in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Northern Hungary.

It is likely that the first Hungarian settlement was formed here shortly after the conquest of Hungary, but in 1275 in a church document it was mentioned as a deserted place.

In the 13th century, Mezőkövesd was the southernmost town belonging to the Diósgyőr estate.

In 1552 – in the year when the Castle of Eger was under siege by the Turks – Mezőkövesd was completely destroyed.

A thermal bath was built and now it is one of the main tourist attractions of the town.
