Marc Burch (born May 7, 1984 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American soccer player who currently plays forward for the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer.

Burch played college soccer at the University of Evansville for three seasons from 2002-2004, scoring 7 goals and assisting on 22 along the way, and spent the summer months playing for the Cleveland Internationals in the amateur USL Premier Development League. After the 2004 season he transferred to the University of Maryland, where he would become a crucial member of the Terrapin squad that won the College Cup, even scoring the game-winning goal in the championship against New Mexico.

He was drafted in the second round, 24th overall, by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. On July 11, Burch was traded from the Galaxy after appearing in only 3 games. He was sent to the Columbus Crew for a second round pick in the 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft.
