Michal Kovařčík (born November 19, 1996) is a Czech professional ice hockey player. As of 2023, he is playing for Mikkelin Jukurit of the Finnish Liiga.[1]

Kovařčík made his Czech Extraliga debut playing with HC Oceláři Třinec during the 2015–16 season.[2]

His elder brother Ondřej is also a professional hockey player – only 18 months apart in age, their early careers followed almost the same trajectory;[3] their success as a partnership led to their being nicknamed after the Sedin twins (Daniel and Henrik Sedin).[4] Former NHL winger Tomáš Fleischmann is their stepbrother.
