Adrián Juhász (born November 18, 1989 in Szolnok ) is a Hungarian rower .

Juhász achieved eighth place in a double scull at the Junior World Championships in 2006 , and the following year he rowed to eleventh place in single . Also in 2007 he finished eighth in a double foursome at the European Championships . Also in 2008 he started internationally in the quadruple sculls, at the U23 World Championships he finished seventh and at the European Championships the Hungarians finished tenth.

In 2009 Juhász formed a two-man without a helmsman with Béla Simon , the two won the silver medal at the U23 World Championships and achieved fifth place at the European Championships . It was not until the 2013 European Championships that Juhász and Simon rowed again in a final at international championships when they finished fifth. After a very weak 2014, the Hungarians came in fifth again at the 2015 European Championships . The two Hungarians received their first international medal in the adult sector at the European Championships in 2016 , when they won the title ahead of the British and the Dutch. At the 2016 Olympic Games , the two finished ninth.

In the new Olympic cycle, Juhász and Simon were initially unable to build on their previous achievements. In two-without, they only finished ninth and penultimate place at the European Championships as defending champions. At the World Championships , they switched to the non-Olympic and less competitive two-man team and won the World Championship gold medal with Andrea Vanda Kolláth at the wheel.
