Marek Sklenicka (Czech: Sklenička) is a goaltender selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fourth round (120th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft — the second of two Czech goaltenders Philadelphia took in 2026, after Martin Psohlavec at No. 62. Born August 27, 2008 in Litvínov, Czechia, the 6-foot-3 netminder catches with his left hand.

Seattle selected him 22nd in the 2025 CHL Import Draft, and he led the Thunderbirds in wins as a rookie, going 20-12-6 with a .902 save percentage and three shutouts across 42 games while climbing NHL Central Scouting's North American goalie list from eighth at midterm to sixth. He was also an injury call-up to the first all-WHL Prospects Game since 2000, and internationally he started Czechia's bronze-medal game at the 2026 U18 Worlds, stopping 21 of 22.

Central Scouting's Al Jensen praised him as "very competitive with excellent net coverage... strong in the crease," and likened his athletic, position-first style to Elvis Merzlikins.
