The Teleki family is an old Hungarian noble family whose members, for centuries, occupied many important positions in the Principality of Transylvania, in the Holy Roman Empire and later in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The family was originally called Garázda as they originated from Goražde, today's Bosnia and Hercegovina and was first mentioned in the 14th century. Szilágyi family is said to be collateral branch of this family. When Anna, the only member of one Székely branch of the Garázda family, married to Mihály Garázda, called Teleki, member of another existing family branch, their descendants left the name Garázda, and from then on they used the suffix Teleki de Szék. Members of the Teleki family bear the title Imperial Count which was given to them by Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor in 1697.
