Josy Stoffel (27 June 1928 – 9 March 2021) was a Luxembourgish gymnast. He was born in Differdange. He participated in five consecutive editions of the Summer Olympic Games (1948, 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964), but never won a medal. Nonetheless, Stoffel dominated the domestic scene, and won Luxembourg's national gymnastics championships for sixteen straight years, from 1949 until 1964. In 2008 he was promoted to the rank of Chevalier in the Order of Merit of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
