Jeles received treatment after her mount Toms tripped and fell during a Fegentri Amateur Women’s Riders World Championship race over a mile.
She had ridden nine winners from 106 rides on the Flat and was placed fourth in the 2021 championship's lady jockey league.
A statement from the Hungarian Jockey club said: "We announce with deep pain and a shaky heart that Eszter Jeles is dead.
"Her body was unable to overcome the injury caused by the accident two weeks ago.
"Esti was a hero, giving her life for horse racing. We lock your memory in our hearts forever."
In memory of Jeles, a memorial ceremony was held at the Veliefendi track on Sunday, where a minute’s silence was observed.
The jockey’s mother Andrea told the crowd: “It is very difficult to describe the emotions we experience. Eszter specifically chose Turkey for horse riding.
"Years ago, in a post she made on her social media account, she said, ‘If I die one day because of my passion for speed, don’t be sad because I will be laughing at that time.'
