Ferenc Novák (Slovene: Franc Novak, Prekmurje Slovene: Ferenc Novak) (December 7, 1791 – January 21, 1836) was a Hungarian Slovene Roman Catholic priest and writer.

Novák was born in Tešanovci to János and Julianna Novák, a petty noble family. His ordination took place on September 10, 1815. He served as a curate in Beltinci for 16 months and later became an administrator in Martjanci in 1816. In March 1817 he served as the parish priest of Turnišče.

Novák gathered old folk songs from the Slovene March. His work was also used by Stanko Vraz.
