Mark Higgs (born April 11, 1966 in Owensboro, Kentucky) is a former American football running back who led the Miami Dolphins in rushing from 1991-1993. After playing for the University of Kentucky in college, he was drafted in the eighth round of the 1988 NFL draft by the Dallas Cowboys. He played one year for the Cowboys, and one year for the Philadelphia Eagles before joining the Dolphins as a free agent prior to the 1990-91 season. Prior to the beginning of the 1991-92 season, Higgs was named the starter, replacing an injured Sammie Smith. Higgs remained the starter, even after Smith returned from his injury. Higgs was replaced as the team's starting running back by Terry Kirby during the 1993-94 season (although Kirby started more games than Higgs, Higgs still led the team in rushing that year). After leaving the Dolphins, Higgs played for the Arizona Cardinals. He retired following the 1995-96 season.
