Norbert Rózsa (born February 9, 1972 in Budapest) is a former breaststroker from Hungary, who represented his native country at three consecutive Olympics, beginning with the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. He won two silver medals, in the 100m and 200m Breaststroke, and became Olympic champion in Atlanta, Georgia in the 200m Breaststroke.

Rózsa swam his first race at age seven, and was a member of national team since 1989. He became world champion at 100 and 200m Breaststroke in 1994 World Aquatics Championships in Rome, Italy, and held the world record for the 100m Breaststroke between 1991 and 1993, when teammate Károly Güttler lowered the standard from 1:01.29 to 1:00.95. A motivated Rózsa improved dramatically to become world 100m Breaststroke champion in Perth, Western Australia in 1991, and also took second in the 200m event. At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, he finished 2nd in both 100m and 200m Breaststroke.

His guardian at the time was Gyorgy Zemplenyi, who was being hunted by Interpol on suspicion of fraud. After Zemplenyi disappeared, Rózsa left Hungary for Australia. After training at the Australian Institute of Sport for a year, Rózsa returned to Hungary and renowned coach Tamas Szechy. Rózsa missed the European LC Championships 1993 in Sheffield, but returned to win two world titles in Rome the next year. In 1995, he became fourth in both the 100m and 200m Breaststroke at the European LC Championships 1995 in Vienna.
