Márton Fucsovics (born February 8, 1992) is a professional Hungarian tennis player. He started to play tennis at the age of five. He came through the ranks quickly and at the age of 8 he played in a field 3–4 years older.

In 2003 he won the National Championship and the Nike Junior Tour, and with that he got the chance to represent Hungary on the World Final in Sun City, South Africa. That time he showed some talent in basketball as well, but when it came to choose, he decided to pursue his tennis career.

His first major success came in 2009, when he won the US Open Boys' Doubles with Hsieh Cheng-peng of Chinese Taipei. In 2010 he reached the semi-final of the Australian Open Boys' Singles , and few months later he won the Wimbledon Boys' Singles, ousting qualifier Benjamin Mitchell in a straight-sets final. He hadn't lost a set throughout the tournament. He also participated in the doubles' event alongside Czech Libor Salaba, and reached the quarter-finals.

He was also integral part of the Hungarian U18 team, which have won the prestigious Galea/Valerio Cup in Venice to claim their first ever boys European Summer Cups title. The other members were Máté Zsiga and Levente Gödry.

Thanks to his outstanding performances he found himself on the top of the ITF Junior Rankings and entered the Youth Olympics as top seed, but suffered a surprise loss in the first round from eventual quarterfinalist Oliver Golding (7–5, 6–3).
