György Zala (born January 19, 1969, in Budapest) is a Hungarian sprint canoeist who competed from 1989 to 2001.

Between Olympiads he tended to fall out of sight, focussing instead on his other passions such as extreme sports.

He took to his new role as the "old man" of the Hungarian four-man crew with enthusiasm, helping his younger teammates to victory in the C-4 1000 m event at the 2000 European Championships in Poznań.

The following year he returned to Poznań, this time for the world championships and, despite injury, won two golds (C-4 200 m and C-4 1000 m).
