Dr. Jeno 'Doc' Tihanyi (Hungarian: Tihanyi Jenő; 1936 - March 4, 2007) was a Canadian swim coach inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame in 2004. He was the fourth coach in Canadian History to receive such an honour. He was named Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Coach of the Year in 1990 and OWIAA Coach of the Year in 1994. He was best known for coaching famed Individual Medley swimmer Alex Baumann to two Olympic gold medals in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Baumann later remarked that Tihanyi served as a second father to him, after his natural father died in 1983. He was fondly remembered by his wife Cathy, who said: "both [Baumann and he] had the same qualities: the drive, outlook, discipline and the strength to overcome whatever difficulty they faced in life... These qualities allowed them to reach the pinnacle of the sport and bring home two gold medals in 1984."
