Zoltán Dömötör (21 August 1935 – 20 November 2019) was a Hungarian swimmer and water polo player who competed in the 1960 Summer Olympics, in the 1964 Summer Olympics, and in the 1968 Summer Olympics.

He was born in Budapest.

Dömötör was part of the Hungarian water polo team which won the "bronze medal in the 1960 tournament." He played six matches and "scored nine goals."

Four years later he was a member of the Hungarian team which won the gold medal in the 1964 Olympic tournament. He played all six matches and scored seven goals. He scored the final goal in the last game of the tournament against the Soviet Union——to set the result 5-2 which secured the gold medal for Hungary on a better goal difference. The radio commentary of that goal by, the legendary György Szepesi is often referred as one of the most memorable moments in Hungarian sports history with Szepesi repeatedly yelling "lőj!" ("shoot!") while Dömötör pump faked the ball for several seconds before finally lobbing it over the sinking goalkeeper.

At the 1968 Games he won his second bronze medal with the Hungarian team. He played all eight matches and scored two goals.
