Magdalena Fularczyk (born 16 September 1986) is a Polish rower who competes mainly in the women's double sculls. From 2009 to 2012, her rowing partner was Julia Michalska, since 2013 Fularczyk has rowed with Natalia Madaj.

She initially took up rowing after the persistent encouragement of one of her schoolteachers.[1] At national level, she was initially coached by Martin Witkowski.[1] Her first international success came at the 2002 Junior World Rowing Championships, where she and teammate Patrycja Pytel won the silver medal.[2] With Kamila Socko, she won the bronze medal at the 2007 U-23 World Championships.[3]

At the 2008 European Championships, she and Madaj won the silver medal in the double sculls, Fularczyk's first senior medal.[4] She then teamed up with Michalska.

When she won the gold medal at the 2009 World Championships with Julia Michalska, she was part of the first female Polish team to win a World Championship gold in an Olympic boat class.[1] Because of her achievements at the World Championships, Fularcyzk was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Rebirth.[5]

Fularcyzk's preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics was disrupted by a family tragedy and injury, but the team of Fularcyzk and Michalska still won the bronze medal.[1][6] After this event, she returned to sculling with Madaj.

She also has a World Championship medal in the women's quadruple sculls (from the 2013 World Championships), with Sylwia Lewandowska, Joanna Leszczynska and Natalia Madaj.[7]

As well as her international titles, she has also won four Polish national championships (single sculls 2009, double sculls 2006, 2007 and 2009, all with Julia Michalska).[8]
