Baron Gábor Andreánszky de Liptószentandrás (23 June 1848 – 19 May 1908) was aHungarianpolitician and Member of Parliament. He was the father of botanistGábor Andreánszky (1895-1967).
He was born inVienna, where his father BaronSándor Andreánszky served in the Council of Hungarian Court Chamber. He finished his studies inPozsony andNagyvárad. He was involved in politics when he was still young; at the age of 17 he was a member of theDeák Party and exerted an active role during 1865 elections.
The two Andreánszky brothers, István and Gábor received the title of Baron in Hungary on 5 October 1875 by Emperor-KingFrancis Joseph. Earlier the family already held the title of Baron inAustria. in this same year he was appointed to a member of the House of Magnates but he gave a speech at first in 1883, duringTiszaeszlár Affair when he protested against the enabling ofChristian-Jewish marriages. He joined to theAnti-Semitic movement ofGyőző Istóczy which transformed into the National Anti-Semitic Party. He was elected to a member of the House of Representatives in 1884 elections in the colours of his party.
He became co-chairman of the group along withGéza Ónody. Ónody represented the Independence faction (which rejected theAustro-Hungarian Compromise), while Andreánszky was the advocate of the pro-Ausgleich members. Despite this the party divided soon and virtually eliminated in 1892. During 1887 elections he unsuccessfully launched from Moderate Opposition list but soon in aby-election he was elected to MP as a representative ofNógrád. He could repeated his success in 1892 (the party renamed itself to National Party).
