Sueo Ōe (大江 季雄, Ōe Sueo, August 2, 1914 – December 24, 1941) was a Japanese athlete who competed mainly in the pole vault. He won a bronze medal at the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany, tying with his teammate Shuhei Nishida. When the two declined to compete against each other to decide a winner, Nishida was awarded the silver after a decision of the Japanese team, on the basis that Nishida had cleared the height in fewer attempts.[2] The competition was featured in a scene in the documentary Olympia, filmed by Leni Riefenstahl. On their return to Japan, Nishida and Ōe had their Olympic medals cut in half, and had a jeweler splice together two new “friendship medals”, half in bronze and half in silver.[3]

Ōe Sueo (japanisch 大江 季雄; * 2. August 1914 in Maizuru; † 24. Dezember 1941 vor Luzon) war ein japanischer Leichtathlet koreanischer Abstammung, der um die Mitte der 1930er Jahre als Stabhochspringer erfolgreich war. Da Korea damals als Provinz Chōsen dem japanischen Generalgouvernement unterstellt war, musste er für Japan starten und die japanische Schreibweise seines Namens benutzen.
