Batthyány's sanctuary lamp (Hungarian: Batthyány Lajos-örökmécses) is a national monument, located at the corner of Báthory Street and Hold Street in Lipótváros, Budapest, Hungary. It sits on the former location of the courtyard of the New Building, where Count Lajos Batthyány (1807–1849), the first Prime Minister of Hungary, was executed on 6 October 1849. In 1905, architect Móric Pogány's design, a large lantern, was chosen, though construction was delayed by the First World War.
