Mihály Deák-Bárdos (born 30 January 1975) is a Hungarian amateur Greco-Roman wrestler, who played for the men's super heavyweight category. He is a four-time Olympian, and a six-time medalist at the European Championships. Deák-Bárdos had also won a total of five silver medals at the World Championships, losing out to numerous top-level wrestlers including Alexander Karelin, Rulon Gardner, Khasan Baroyev, and Mijaín López, all of whom were Olympic champions in the same division.
Born in Miskolc Deák-Bárdos emerged as one of Hungary's most prominent wrestlers in its sporting history. He first competed at the 1993 European Youth Wrestling Championships in Götzis, Austria, where he finished in fourth place, for the 110 kg division. In 1997, Deák-Bárdos achieved his earliest success in wrestling, when he won the silver medal against three-time Olympic champion Alexander Karelin at the World Championships in Wrocław, Poland. After Karelin's retirement in 2000, Deák-Bárdos continued to build success in wrestling by capturing four medals for the super heavyweight division (120–130 kg) at the European Championships, including his first ever gold from Moscow. He managed to repeat his silver medal streak at the World Championships, when he lost the final match to United States' Rulon Gardner (2001) and Dremiel Byers (2002), and to Russia's Khasan Baroyev (2003), who succeeded Karelin to become an Olympic champion in 2004.
