István Szijjártó (Slovene: Števan Sijarto) (c. 1765 – 10 September 1833) was a Slovene Lutheran teacher and poet in Hungary.

He was born in Večeslavci (Prekmurje), near the Styrian border. His father was Iván Szijjártó, a Slovene peasant. Szijjártó studied in Nemescsó and in Sopron, at the Lutheran lyceum (?–1783). He taught in Križevci from 1787 to 1806 in Puconci.[clarification needed] He later worked in Domanjševci, where he died.

In 1796, his hymnal Mrtvecsne Peszmi (Dirges) was published.
