Oszkár Demján (28 December 1891 – 4 September 1914) was a Hungarian breaststroke swimmer who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.[1] In 1912 he was eliminated in the semi-finals of the 200 metre breaststroke event. In the 400 metre breaststroke competition he was disqualified, because he touched the wall with only one hand at the second turn.[2]

He was born in Budapest and killed in action in Sianky, during World War I.[3]
