Markéta Sluková (Czech pronunciation: [ˈmarkɛːta ˈslukovaː]; born 28 June 1988)[1] is a Czech beach volleyball player.

Sluková competed on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour and was named the FIVB World Tour Top Rookie in 2010.

From August 2015 until 2021, Sluková played with Barbora Hermannová,[7] and they were coached by Simon Nausch. Whilst being qualified, the team had to withdraw from the Olympic Games in Tokyo due to Slukova testing positive for COVID-19 just two days before the start of the competition.
