Marla Mallett (born December 19, 1970 as Marla Geiger in Nanaimo, British Columbia) is a Canadian curler from Walnut Grove, British Columbia.
Mallett is a three time former Canadian and World Junior champion in 1988 playing with for Julie Sutton (Skinner).
In 1995 Mallett played in her first Tournament of Hearts. She played skip for the British Columbia team, and finished the round robin with a 6-5 record. She would then join up with Kelley Owen (Law), and played in the 1997 Scott Tournament of Hearts. The team finished in last place, with a 3-8 record that year.
Mallett would not return to the Hearts until the 2009 event, held in her home province. Her team consisting of Grace MacInnes, Diane Gushulak and Jacalyn Brown, defied many people's expectations by finishing the round robin in first place with an 8-3 record and lost in the final to the defending champion Jennifer Jones.
Mallett would return to the 2010 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts as the defending champion. Her team would finish round robin in fourth place with a 5-4 record. They would end up winning the 3-4 game against Kristen Fewster and would face Kelly Scott in the semi-final. After a close game, Mallett would lose 5-6 to Scott, ending her chances to return to the national championship.
At the end of the 2010 season Mallett would part ways with MacInnes, Gushulak and Brown. She would add Kelly Shimizu, Janelle Sakamoto and Colleen Hannah to her team, but it would not be a successful combination. The team failed to qualify for the 2011 Provincials.
