Count Imre Cseszneky de Milvány et Csesznek (1804-after 1857) was a Hungarian agriculturist and patriot, born in 1804 to Mihály Cseszneky and Erzsébet Galgótzy. His father was a descendant of the impoverished Bácska branch of the Cseszneky family. In the 1830s he served as lieutenant. Later he became a talented agriculturist landowner in Szabadka area, who following the steps of Count István Széchenyi gained distinction by developing Hungarian horse breeding.

Cseszneky was the patron of the notable poet, Pál Jámbor (Hiador) and - following the advice of Lajos Kossuth - the advocate of Mihály Vörösmarty's election in the Bácsalmás electoral district to the parliament.

In 1848 he supported with his fortune the establishment of the National Guard of Jankovác and the Defence Forces of Bácska, in which his brother, Mihály fought at Csantavér against the Serbian rebels.

Due to his role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 he suffered serious reprisal under the Serbian Voivodship. His wife was Anna Nagy.
