Mark James Chilton (born October 2, 1976 in Sheffield, Yorkshire) is an English cricketer.
Chilton was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Durham University where he won the British Universities tournament in 1997. The same year he made his debut for Lancashire, aged 20.
Chilton has been compared in batting style to fellow Manchester Grammar School student and former Lancashire and England batsman John Crawley.
He was appointed Lancashire captain when Warren Hegg resigned in September 2004 after relegation to County Championship Division Two.
Chilton must consider the 2005 season, his first as Lancashire skipper, as a minor success after leading the county to promotion in the Championship and to the final of the Twenty20 Cup before losing out to Somerset Sabres at The Oval. Although, some people believe Chilton's decision to bat first in overcast conditions was the main reason Lancs failed to win their first major trophy since 1998.
At the end of the 2007 season, Chilton resigned as Lancashire captain after three years in the position.[1] Although the team only won one trophy under Chilton's leadership, they came close on numerous occasions, narrowly missing out on two County Championship titles, two Twenty20 cups, and the C&G Trophy.[2]
