Annamária Kiss (born December 5, 1981 in Dunaújváros) is a Hungarian former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1] She represented Hungary in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2000), and also trained for Dunaferr Sports Club (Hungarian: Dunaferr Sportegyesület) under her longtime coach and mentor Erzsébet Tóth.

Kiss made her first Hungarian team, as a 14-year-old teen, at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. There, she failed to reach the top 16 final in the 100 m backstroke, finishing only in thirty-second place at 1:07.38.[2]

At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Kiss competed only in three swimming events, including a backstroke double. She achieved FINA B-standards of 1:05.16 (100 m backstroke) and 2:17.08 (200 m backstroke) from the Hungarian Championships in Budapest.[3][4] On the second day of the Games, Kiss placed thirty-sixth in the 100 m backstroke. Swimming in heat two, she came up with a spectacular swim on the final stretch to race for the fourth seed in 1:06.12, just 1.13 seconds off the leading time set by Sweden's Camilla Johansson.[5][6] Four days later, in the 200 m backstroke, Kiss posted a time of 2:20.40 to grab a sixth seed from the same heat, but finished only in twenty-eighth overall on the morning prelims.[7][8] Kiss also teamed up with Ágnes Kovács, Gyöngyver Lakos, and newcomer Orsolya Ferenczy in the 4×100 m medley relay. Leading off a backstroke leg in heat one, Kiss recorded a split of 1:06.15, but the Hungarians raced to the fifth spot and thirteenth overall in a final time of 4:11.11.[9][10][11]
