Ethel Muckelt (30 May 1885 – 13 December 1953) was a British figure skater who competed in singles and pairs.[1] As a single skater, she won the bronze medal at the 1924 Winter Olympics. As a pair skater, she placed fifth at the 1920 Summer Olympics with Sydney Wallwork. With John Page, she won the silver medal at the 1924 World Figure Skating Championships and placed fourth at that year's Olympics.[2]
