434 Hungaria is a relatively small asteroid orbiting in the inner asteroid belt that is approximately 11 kilometers in diameter. It is an E-type (high-albedo) asteroid. It is the namesake of the Hungaria asteroids, which orbit the Sun on the inside of the 1:4 Kirkwood gap, standing out of the core of the asteroid belt.
It was discovered by Max Wolf on 11 September 1898 at the University of Heidelberg. It was named after Hungary, which hosted an astronomical meeting in 1898 in Budapest.
It is thought that 434 Hungaria, 3103 Eger and the aubrite meteorites may share a common origin.
