József Munk (30 November 1890, Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary – after 1942) was a Hungarian freestyle swimmer who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics. He was Jewish, and in 1942 he fell into the hands of the Soviets. He was taken as a prisoner to the Soviet Union, from where he never returned.[1]
At the 1908 Olympics he won a silver medal as a member of a Hungarian 4x200 metre freestyle relay team. He also competed in the 100 metre freestyle, but placed fourth in his heat and did not advance.[2]
