Marco Koch (born 25 January 1990) is a German competitive swimmer who specializes in breaststroke events.[1] At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, he competed in the men's 200-metre breaststroke, finishing in 11th place overall in the heats and 7th in his semifinal, failing to reach the final.
At the 2015 World Aquatics Championships in Kazan, Russia, he won the gold medal in the men's 200-metre breaststroke, becoming the first German to claim a championship title in that event.
