Marius Eugen Tobă (born 9 January 1968) is a retired Romanian-born German artistic gymnast, who competed for Romania at the 1988 Olympics and for Germany at the 1996 and 2000 Games. His best individual result was sixth place on rings in 2000.[2] At the European championships he won two medals for Germany in 1994–1996.[1][3]

Tobă never considered himself a brilliant gymanst, but was known for his consistency and reliability.[1] He has a daughter Sabrina and son Andreas Toba from his past marriage, which ended in divorce in 2006. Andreas also took up gymnastics, coached by his father, and competed at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.[4]
