Atyusz from the kindred Hahót (Hungarian: Hahót nembeli Atyusz; fl. 1273–1302) was a Hungarian noble, who served as ispán of several counties in the second half of the 13th century. He was also the ancestor of the Szabari noble family.
Atyusz was born into the Buzád branch of the gens Hahót as the son of Buzád III Hahót and Eve Atyusz. He was named after Atyusz III Atyusz, the most powerful and notable member of his mother's kindred. His grandparents were Buzád II Hahót, a loyal baron of Duke Béla and later Dominican martyr of the Christian Church, and Sal Atyusz, who held the position of ispán of Karakó ispánate in 1205. Atyusz had three siblings: Thomas, who served as Archbishop of Kalocsa from 1254 to 1256, Sal, a clergyman, who was provost of the Dömös monastery from 1256 to 1295, and an unidentified sister, who married local nobleman Ant from Zala County.
He was first mentioned as a royal squire (or youth) in 1273 which suggests he was much more younger than his brothers Thomas and Sal. When the Austrian and Moravian troops of Ottokar II invaded the borderlands of Hungary in April then autumn 1273, Atyusz was among the defenders of fort Detrekő (today ruins in Plavecké Podhradie, Slovakia), unsuccessfully besieged by Ottokar. For his merits, Atyusz was appointed ispán of Veszprém County in early 1274, holding the dignity throughout the year. Historian János Karácsonyi claimed Atyusz already served in this position in 1273. In December 1274, he was transferred to Zala County, but functioned in this capacity only a few days. For unknown reasons, Atyusz lost all political influence for the next decade. He regained his status by 1288, during the late reign of Ladislaus IV of Hungary, when he served as ispán of Somogy County.
