Miklós Németh (born 23 October 1946) is a Hungarian Olympic champion and former world record holder in the javelin throw.

Németh's winning effort at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal was also a world record, 94.58m in the first round.

Silver medalist Hannu Siitonen of Finland, whose record of 93.90m was set in June,[1] achieved 87.92m — more than 6.5m (nearly 22 feet) behind Németh.

The new champion was elected Hungarian Sportsman of the Year for his achievement.

Németh's gold medal world-record performance stood until 23 April 1980, when fellow Hungarian Ferenc Paragi launched the spear 96.72m.
