Mario Frick (born September 7, 1974 in Chur, Switzerland) is a football player (primarily a striker) from Liechtenstein, who holds the record for being their national side's all time top goalscorer, with 13 goals. He weighs 78.7 kg (174 lb/12.39 st) and is half Swiss.

He started his career at FC Balzers, but has really made a name for himself in Italy, being the first Liechtensteiner to play abroad (has also played in Austria and Switzerland). He has established himself as a key player in the Liechtenstein national football team, however, his manager at the time fell out with the national coach Ralf Loose at the end of the 2002 World Cup qualification stages, and he was left out of the team. After the change in coach, Frick returned to be part of the squad playing in both games against England. After Ternana's relegation from Serie B, Frick moved to A.C. Siena (Serie A) in July 2006 where he was temporarily top goalscorer in Serie A.
