Marc-André Leclerc (October 10, 1992 – March 5, 2018) was a Canadian rock climber, ice and mixed climber, and alpinist. He was known for his solo ascents–often in winter–of major ice and alpine climbing routes. In 2016, he completed the first winter solo ascents of both Torre Egger in Patagonia and of the Emperor Face of Mount Robson in British Columbia, Canada. In 2018, he died while climbing the Mendenhall Towers in Alaska.

In 2021, a documentary film called The Alpinist was released about Leclerc's life and climbs.
