Marcin Maliński (born 10 January 1973) is a retired Polish swimmer who won three medals in the 200 m and 400 m individual medley events at European World championships in 1995.[1] He also competed in these disciplines at the 1992 and 1996 Summer Olympics with the best achievement of seventh place in 1996.[2]

He was born as a son of a military officer Zbigniew Maliński and started swimming aged 5. Between 1989 and 1991 he was training at the Mission Viejo Nadadores club in the United States.[3] In 1997 he returned to the US to study in a college at Fort Pierce, Florida, and then at the University of Alabama. He then moved to Iceland, where he works as a swimming coach and competes in the masters category.[4] His younger brothers, Jakub and Michał, were also competitive swimmers.[5]
