Péter Gárdos (Ottó Gárdos Péter, Budapest, 17 June 1940 - Budapest, 25 October 1956) was an industrial student and journalist, a photojournalist of the Hungarian Telecommunication Bureau (MTI). In 1956, he was the victim of Kossuth Square incident at the age of 16.

Born the son of Mihály Goldfinger and Etelka Kronisz, Budapest XIII. district.

Péter Gárdos's former colleague, Évala Keleti, recalled that he lived with his grandmother, and his parents were assassinated in 1944 in the Auschwitz or Mauthausen labor camp. According to Ernő Kulka, who at that time MTI's photo shooter was a "accurate, trustworthy, respectful child".

According to the MTI's website, for the decade-long news agency, no one knew that the MTI journalist became the victim of the fighting.

On the 50th anniversary of the October 25th uprising, Péter Gárdos's memorial plaque was erected on the wall of the MTI Nap-hegy square building.

Éva Keleti remembered this way: "I remember that on October 25, 1956, Péter Gárdos went with Sándor Bojár. Péter Gárdos was a trainee at the time as lighters working beside the photographers. He was a terrible young child, and he took every opportunity to photograph. And he went with everybody. MTI has a picture of me that she made in September 1956, because she came to light for me. He held the lamp but photographed it. He was a very good-looking and very strong player."

Another colleague, Tamás Farkas, was on the spot. He wrote: "The stop of the two trams was the same where today, and the part of the Parliament, was not full of flowers and bushes today, but it was a beautiful grass. It was parked and there were a lot of people lying there. I have no idea that there were 20 or so ... And Peter lay there. From there, I knew he was dead, that he was in a very outstretched position, and his leg fell under him. Her blond hair was earthy. "
