Mladen Šekularac (Serbian: Младен Шекуларац) (born January 29, 1981, in Bar, SR Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Montenegrin professional basketball player currently in his third season with Antwerp Giants of the Belgium Basketball League.
At one point Šekularac was considered to be one of the biggest European talents, and was projected as NBA Draft lottery-pick candidate. His reputation was such that his club at the time, KK FMP Železnik, put a €1,300,000 price tag on his transfer. However, inconsistent form and unsteady overall progress made many uncertain about his potential.
He was an early entry candidate for the 2000 and 2001 draft before withdrawing each time. He has stayed, however, in the 2002 draft and ended up being taken in the 2nd round as 55th pick by Dallas Mavericks. Mavericks traded the rights to the Golden State Warriors in 2004. He signed a contract with Sanex Antwerp Giants from 2005 until 2008 and won the Belgian Cup on May 6, 2007.
