Mariann Horváth (born 1968) is a Hungarian épée fencer, twice individual world champion and five-time team world champion.
Horváth was one of the first women épée champions after the event was introduced by the International Fencing Federation at the 1988 World Fencing Championships.
She commented fencing at the 2012 Summer Olympics for Eurosport. Her emotional account of Áron Szilágyi's victory in men's sabre drew criticism, notably from radio host Gábor Bochkor, who later apologized.[1]
