Isaiah Marcus Rankin (born 22 May 1978 in London) is an English professional footballer. Rankin is a pacy, powerful striker who can also play on the right wing if needed.

Rankin has played for a host of clubs in his relatively short career, playing for Arsenal, Colchester United, Bradford City, Birmingham City, Bolton Wanderers, Barnsley and Grimsby Town before joining Brentford in June 2004.

Rankin's goal against Southampton in the 2004-05 FA Cup Fifth Round was nominated on Match of the Day's 'Goal of the Month' competition, but did not win the top prize.

Rankin was released by Brentford on 17 May 2006 and signed a two year contract with Grimsby Town on 26 June 2006, for whom he had previously played on loan in the 2003-04 season.

On 22 March 2007, Rankin moved to Macclesfield Town on loan until the end of the 2006-07 season. He then moved to Stevenage Borough in a late deal on transfer deadline day in January 2008, signing a contract until the end of the 2007-08 season.

After a unsucessful stat at Stevenage Borough he was one of a number of players released by the club on the 30th April 2008.
