Johann Igel (25 June 1937 – 23 November 2012) was a pioneering Austrian para-swimmer who achieved notable success in the early Paralympic Games, representing Austria in the 1960s.
Competing at the inaugural Paralympic Games in Rome, Italy, in 1960, Igel won three medals: a gold in the 50-meter freestyle, silver in the 50-meter backstroke, and bronze in the 50-meter breaststroke. He was among the first Austrian athletes to win medals at international para-sports. Igel competed at the 1968 Paralympics in Tel Aviv, Israel. He won a silver medal in the 50-meter freestyle and another bronze in the 50-meter breaststroke. Igel competed at the 1972 Paralympics in Heidelberg, Germany, where he placed fifth in both the 3x25 meter Individual Medley Relay and the 50-meter freestyle.
