Jenő Fuchs, also known as Jenő Fekete, who lived from 29 October 1882 to 14 March 1955, was a Hungarian sabre fencer who competed at the 1908 and 1912 Olympics and won both the individual and the team events at both Games.

He studied law at the University of Budapest, defended a PhD in 1911 and became a lawyer, and he worked with the Budapest stock market. Apart from fencing and law he was a top-ranked rower and bobsledder in Hungary, and in 1982 he was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
