Lajtabánság ( _de. Leitha-Banat) was a short lived Hungarian state in the current territory of the Austrian federal state of Burgenland. The state existed between October 4 and November 5 1921, after the Treaty of Trianon after the army of the rump Kingdom of Hungary left the territory but before Austria annexed the region.

The principal leaders of the state were Pál Prónay, Count Gyula Ostenburg-Moravek and István Friedrich ex-premier. Its military organization was called Rongyos Gárda ("Scrubby Guards").
