György Bródy (21 July 1908 – 5 August 1967) was a Hungarian water polo player.
At the 1928 Summer Olympics he was a reserve player for the Hungarian water polo team, but did not compete in a match of the tournament.
In 1932, he was part of the Hungarian team that won the gold medal, playing two matches in the critical role of goalkeeper.
Four years later, in 1936, he won the gold medal again with the Hungarian team at the Berlin Games. Playing a major role, he tended goal in six matches. He was one of only around nine Jewish athletes who won medals at the Nazi Germany-hosted Olympics, with the number including four Hungarians.[1]
Bródy died on 5 August 1967 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
