Mohamad Sukri Abdul Mutalib (born 24 February 1986) is a Malaysian field hockey player.

Sukri has been playing in the MHL since 2005 where he represented Bank Simpanan Nasional before moving to Ernst & Young the following year. He stuck with KLHC, who are in fact a continuation of E&Y.

Prior to the MHL, Sukri played for Bandar Penawar Sports School in the Junior Hockey League from 1999 to 2001 after which the sports schools combined and played in the MJHL as a team from 2002 to 2004.

It was during the MJHL that his talent was spotted by former national coach Paul Lissek and Sukri was drafted into the national training squad when he was only 16.

He made his international debut in 2003 against China in a test match played at the Tun Razak Stadium, at 17 years old, making him one of the youngest players to don national senior colours.

In June 2011, Sukri started his overseas career along with another Malaysian Faizal Saari. They were selected by the Southern Hotshots team for the Australian Hockey League.
