Levente Lengyel (13 June 1933 – 18 August 2014) was a Hungarian chess player, who gained the Grandmaster title in 1964.

His final published rating from the international chess federation FIDE was 2293, although he had not been active for a number of years.

At his peak, he was regarded as a strong grandmaster, competing for his nation at the top level and winning medals.

[3] His results were as follows: Lengyel also played in the 1964 Amsterdam Interzonal, a preliminary round of the World Chess Championship, achieving 12th place with 13/23, 1.5 points short of qualifying for the candidates matches (the winner was Smyslov with 17).

[7] Lengyel had wins against former World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik,[8] but perhaps his two most memorable results were two games which finished in somewhat unorthodox fashion: Portisch - Lengyel, Málaga 1964, where he achieved a stalemate draw with a spectacular queen sacrifice.
