Emanuel Löffler (29 December 1901 – 5 August 1986) was a Czech gymnast who competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics and in the 1936 Summer Olympics. Additionally, he won several individual and team medals throughout the 1930s at the World Championships.
Löffler, a consistent mainstay of his Czechoslovakian team from the late 1920s through the 1930s, encountered extreme misfortune at the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics, paralleling exactly the extreme misfortune of Janina Skirlińska, Löffler's 1934 World All-Around Bronze Medalist female counterpart from Poland who, exactly like Löffler, finished in 40th place here. (Skirlińska, like Löffler, was a consistent competitor at both her national championships, as well as at the World Championships as, at the next worlds in 1938, where, as the highest-finishing non-Czechoslovakian competitor at those games in Prague, Czechoslovakia, she placed 4th.)
