Jaclyn Stelmaszyk (née Halko, born December 16, 1986) is a world champion Polish Canadian rower. She won gold in the lightweight women's quad sculls at the 2012 World Rowing Championships as a competitor for Poland. Stelmaszyk returned to the Canadian team and is the reigning Pan American Games Champion when she won gold in lightweight women's double sculls with gold with Kate Haber at the 2019 Pan Am Games in Lima.
