Mark Foster (born 2 September 1983) is a rugby union footballer who plays at wing or centre for Gloucester Rugby and England Sevens.

Joined the Gloucester Rugby England Academy in the summer of 2002 at the age of 18. He has progressed through the U21 ranks and put in some good performances for the United side over the last two seasons, including a 70 metre try against London Irish in the Zurich ‘A’ League. With a number of players missing through international commitments Foster started a handful of games for Gloucester Rugby during the Six Nations last season.

Has re-established himself in Dean Ryan’s squad during pre-season with a series of excellent displays. Struggled to come to terms with the Premiership in the centre late last term, but has made real strides on the wing. Was outstanding at the Issoire tournament and scored a hat-trick during Gloucester Rugby’s pre-season victory over Calvisano.

Mark scored a try in Gloucester's victory over London Irish in the 2006 European Challenge Cup Final. He scored 8 tries for Gloucester Rugby in all competitions during the 2006/07 season. During the 2007/08 season he has been on loan to Moseley Rugby.
