Tibor Hufnágel (born 18 March 1991) is a Hungarian sprint canoeist. He competed in the K-2 1000 and K-4 1000 m events at the 2016 Summer Olympics and placed 7th and 11th, respectively.[2][3]

He originally won a silver medal with Bence Dombvári in the K-2 1000 m event at the 2016 European Championships until Dombvári tested positive for stanozolol.[4]

Hufnágel began paddling aged 10, following his brother. His brother did canoeing, but Hufnágel did not want to kneel, and chose kayaking instead.[1][3]
