Mark Redman is a fictional character in the British soap opera Coronation Street. He was played by Christopher Cook in 1992 to 1993 and then by Paul Fox when the character was re-introduced in 1999. He was the son of Mike Baldwin and Maggie Dunlop. Maggie had a fling with Mike and she fell pregnant with Mark but didn't tell Mike. She then married Harry Redman and Mark was brought up by Harry. Together they left Weatherfield in 1984. After Harry's death Mike discovered Mark was his son and started to interfere in their lives after they returned in 1992. Maggie and Mark left Weatherfield again in 1993 when Maggie remarried.

Mark returned in 1999 and worked for his father Mike helping out in the factory Underworld. He then had an affair with his father's much younger fiance, Linda Sykes behind Mike's back. He left Weatherfield in September 2000 ending his affair with Linda without Mike knowing but returned for Mike's wedding to Linda in 2001. It was then that his affair with Linda was finally revealed and Mike disowned Mark telling him never to return again.

He re-appeared in April 2006 when his father, suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, visited him in his new home in Doncaster after Mark had written him a letter. However, due to the effects of the disease Mike was confused and mistook Mark for his other son Adam. It was only when Mark explained the situation concerning Linda that Mike remembered what had happened and stormed out of the house. During their conversation it was discovered that Mark had a new girlfriend who stayed over nearly every night.

He last appeared at his father's funeral after Mike succumbed to a heart attack a few weeks on from when he reunited with Mark. Following a conversation with his younger half-brother, Adam, in which he convinced him to fight for his inheritance, he left again.
