Oscar Gelbfuhs (9 November 1852, Šternberk (Sternberg), Moravia – 27 September 1877, Teschen (Cieszyn), Austrian Silesia) was an Austrian chess master.

He took 11th at Vienna 1873 (Wilhelm Steinitz won).[1] Gelbfuhs invented and proposed an auxiliary scoring method for tie breaking (Sonnenborn–Berger) there.[2] A simpler version the "Neustadtl Score" later became widely used.[3]
