Martin Janecký je český sklářský umělec působící ve Spojených státech amerických.

Ve věku 13 let začal pracovat se sklem ve sklárně svého otce. V roce 1998 dokončil v Novém Boru čtyřleté studium na Střední škole Průmyslové se zaměřením na tvorbu sklářského umění. Do svých 21 let byl zaměstnáván u některých špičkových desingových návrhářů, umělců a architektů v Jižní Africe, Švédsku, Holandsku a New Yorku, kterým pomáhal realizovat jejich díla a zdokonaloval tak svou techniku foukání a tvarování skla. Ve svých volných chvílích se věnuje sochařině ze skla.

V roce 2003 se vydal na svoji první cestu do USA, kde demonstroval své umění na sklářském sympóziu ve sklářském muzeu v Corningu - Corning Museum of Glass. Od té doby je zván na sklářská sympozia, umělecké školy a workshopy, aby se o svůj talent podělil s umělci a sklářskými nadšenci po celém světě. Jeho specializací je sklářská sochařina a v USA vyučuje na vybraných školách jako jsou Corning Museum of Glass, Penland School of Crafts, Tacoma Museum of Glass, Public Glass and Pilchuck Glass School...
