Csák (I) from the kindred Hahót (Hungarian: Hahót nembeli (I.) Csák; died after 1269) was a Hungarian noble who held several secular positions during the reign of King Béla IV. Initially, he was a strong and influential supporter of the king's son, Duke Stephen, later returned to Béla's allegiance.
He was born into the Buzád branch of the gens (clan) Hahót as the son of Buzád II, who served as ban of Severin between 1226 and c. 1232. Csák had three brothers. His father was killed by the Mongols in Pest after the disastrous Battle of Mohi. Csák I had five sons, including Csák II, from an unidentified wife.
His name was first mentioned by a document in 1234. Albeit that charter proved to be a 14th-century forgery, its genealogical details are correct, which suggested he was born around 1215. He functioned as master of the horse from 1245 to 1247. Besides that he also served as ispán (comes) of Baranya County in 1245. Csák was the ispán of Sopron County between 1247 and 1254. According to a non-authentic charter he also held that office until 1260 or 1265 (depends on the uncertain date). As ispán, he owned the lands of Wulkaprodersdorf (Vulkapordány), Rohrbach (Fraknónádasd), Eggendorf, Hidegség and Homok, nearby the town of Sopron. Historian Melinda Tóth claimed Hidegség functioned as Csák's manorial seat, when held the office of ispán in Sopron County. Tóth also argued, the mural paintings (frescos) in the rotunda of Hidegség, which is an important artistic heritage from the 13th century in Hungary, were made under the financial support of Csák.
