Dávid Kolozár (born August 3, 1981) is a Hungarian former swimmer who specialized in butterfly events.[1] He is a former varsity swimmer for the Arizona State Sun Devils, and a graduate of tourism and business at the Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

Kolozar qualified for the men's 200 m butterfly at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:58.99 from the national championships in Székesfehérvár.[2][3] He challenged seven other swimmers on the fourth heat, including Olympic veterans Takashi Yamamoto of Japan and Franck Esposito of France. He edged out Peru's Juan Pablo Valdivieso to take a seventh spot by less than 0.10 of a second in 2:01.89. Kolozar failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed twenty-fifth overall in the preliminaries.[4][5]
