Juraj Mikúš (born 22 February 1987) is a Slovak professional ice hockey centre who most recently played for HK Dukla Trenčín of the Slovak Extraliga. He was selected in the fourth round, 121st overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Mikúš was invited to Spartak Moscow's training camp in2010, but failed to make the team due to the import quota. Instead, he joined Dinamo Riga of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Mikúš was initially released from Dinamo Riga in November 2010, but rejoined them as Martin Cibak and Jaroslav Obsut had been released from Spartak. After splitting the 2017–18 season, between HC Slovan Bratislava and HC Litvínov in the Czech Extraliga, Mikúš opted to extend his tenure in the ELH, agreeing to a three-year optional contract with Litvínov on 18 May 2018.

Personal life

Outside of his playing career, Mikúš is also active at various levels of politics, serving as a local councillor in Skalica and failed to run for parliament in 2023 on the KDH party list. He also ran for the 2024 European Parliament election in Slovakia.
