Boglárka Kapás (born April 22, 1993) is a female freestyle swimmer from Hungary. She was the youngest member (15 years, 111 days) of the Hungarian Olympic Squad (88 men and 83 women) at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, PR China.
She won Hungary's first ever gold medal at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in 200 m butterfly. She won one more gold medal in 400 m freestyle and a silver medal in 200 m freestyle.
At the 2010 European Short Course Swimming Championships in Eindhoven Kapas won the silver medal in 800m freestyle, with a time of 8:18.56. The event was notable in that it was a heat-declared result (medals based on times from heats with no final swum), where Kapas won the heat for the top seeded swimmers by a comfortable margin; however, lost the event to Federica Pellegrini who had raced earlier in the 'slower' heat.
