Ferenc Németh (born c. 1919), also commonly known as François Németh, was a Hungarian-French professional basketball player. He played at the center position. He was named one of FIBA's 50 Greatest Players in 1991.
He was the first player to score more than 50 points in a top-tier level French basketball league game, as he scored 55 points, on 11 February 1951, in a game against Hirondelles de Coutures, in an 82–55 win.
Németh moved to the Argentine League in 1951. After playing there for two years, he gained Argentine citizenship, in 1953.[3]
