Esztergom County (Latin: comitatus Stringoniensis, Hungarian: Esztergom (vár)megye, Slovak: Ostrihomský komitát / Ostrihomská stolica / Ostrihomská župa, German: Graner Gespanschaft / Komitat Gran) was an administrative county of the Kingdom of Hungary. It's territory lies today in present-day southern Slovakia and northern Hungary on both sides of the Danube river.

Esztergom County shared borders with the counties Bars, Hont, Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun and Komárom. Its territory comprised a 15 km strip to the west of the lower part of the Garam river and continued some 10 km south of the Danube river. Its area was 1077 km² around 1910.

The capital of the county was the Esztergom Castle and the town of Esztergom, then from 1543 onwards – when the territory became part of the Ottoman Empire – the capital was outside the county (e. g. 1605–1663 in Érsekújvár), and finally from 1714 onwards the capital was the town of Esztergom.
