Gyula Iványi (10 March 1864 – 6 December 1920) was a Hungarian fencer. He competed in the individual sabre event at the 1900 Summer Olympics, where he finished in 5th place.

Born on 10 March 1864 in Buda, Kingdom of Hungary, he was student of Zsiga Halász who introduced him to fencing. The first national Hungarian sabre fencing competition was held in 1895, and Iványi won the gold medal and the Great Silver Cup of the Minister of Defense. He was a member of the Magyar Atlétikai Club until 1896, when he resigned following their admission of Italo Santelli after his victory at an event organized by MAC in May of that year.
