Mauro Numa (born November 18, 1961 in Mestre) is an Italian fencer and one of the strongest during the 1980s. His career started very early and in 1979, at 18, he was included in the Foil's Italian Team. In 1980 Numa could not compete at the Moscow Olympic Games due to the ban.
In 1984 at 22 he competed at the Los Angeles Olympic Games winning either the Foil Individual either the Foil Team. In the final for the Individual Title Numa won over Mathias Behr. Less than 1 minute before the end Behr was 4 points up but Numa caught his opponent and eventually won in the tie break with the final score of 12-11.
In the following years Numa confirmed to be one of the strongest in Foil Individual winning medals in Barcelona 1985, in Sofia 1986, Denver 1989, Lyon 1990 World Championships.
