Péter Bácsi (born 15 May 1983) is an amateur Hungarian Greco-Roman wrestler, who competes in the middleweight category.^[2]^[3] Two-time (2014 and 2018) world champion, he is also a three-time Olympian, and a four-time medalist in his division at the European Championships.^[4]

Bacsi made his international debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics, where he competed in the 74 kg class. He first defeated United States' T.C. Dantzler, Armenia's Arsen Julfalakyan, and Russia's Varteres Samourgachev in the preliminary rounds, before losing out to Georgia's Manuchar Kvirkvelia in the semi-finals, by a technical fall.^[5]^[6] Because his opponent advanced further into the final match, Bacsi automatically qualified for the bronze medal bout, where he was defeated by France's Christophe Guénot, with a classification score of 1–3.^[7]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Bacsi got injured in the second preliminary match of the 74 kg class, losing to Aleksandr Kazakevič.^[8]
