Pákozd is a village in Fejér county, Hungary. Set between Lake Velence and the granite dome of the Velence Hills, Pákozd covers of rolling loess and ancient crystalline outcrops just off the M7, 15 km north-west of Székesfehérvár.

Once primarily a lakeside farming community, Pákozd has transformed into a growing commuter and recreational settlement, with its population increasing from 2,245 in 1980 to 3,665 in 2022, driven by second-home development and its proximity to Budapest.
