Bodrogkeresztúr (shortly, "Keresztúr", Yiddish: קערעסטיר) is a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Hungary.

Before World War II, there was a sizable Jewish community in Bodrogkeresztúr. At its height, there were 535 Jews in the community, but most of them were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust in Hungary.[1][2]

Rabbi Yeshaya Steiner of the Kerestir Hasidic dynasty lived here at 67 Kossuth Utca. The house still serves thousands of people annually.
