Emeric (I) Bebek (Hungarian: Bebek (I.) Imre, Croatian: Emerik Bubek; died 1395) was a powerful Hungarian baron, who rose to prominence during the last regnal years of King Louis I of Hungary. After 1382, he was a staunch supporter of Mary, Queen of Hungary. Recognizing Sigismund's accession to the throne, he was made Judge royal, then Voivode of Transylvania. He received numerous land donations, which founded the wealth and influence of his family in the 15th century.
