Martin Ručinský (Czech pronunciation: [ˈmarcɪn ˈrutʃiːnskiː]; born March 11, 1971) is a Czech former professional ice hockey player who played 16 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL). Ručínský was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round as the 20th overall selection in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft on June 22, 1991.

Ručinský led the Montreal Canadiens in 1998–99 with 17 goals. It was the first time since the 1940–41 season, that the Canadiens did not have at least one twenty-goal scorer.[1] He was the last player for the Quebec Nordiques still active in professional hockey prior to his retirement in 2015.[2]
