Zsófia Kovács (born 6 April 2000) is a Hungarian artistic gymnast who competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[1] As a junior, she took part in the 2014 European Championships.

Also in 2016, she performed in the German Gymnastics Bundesliga (premier league) for the team TZ DSHS Köln. On the second competition day, she showed the best all-around performance of all gymnasts.[2] At the 2017 European Gymnastics Championships in Cluj-Napoca, she won a silver medal in the all-around, becoming the first Hungarian woman to land on the podium since Adrienn Varga did so in 1998 when she won vault. During these championships, Kovacs also qualified to three individual finals where she finished 6th on vault, uneven bars and balance beam.
