Mark H. Chilton (born 1970) is the mayor of Carrboro, North Carolina. He was elected mayor on November 8, 2005, succeeding Mike Nelson. He is married to Quaker Harmon and has two sons, Samuel and Alexander.

Chilton was the youngest elected official in North Carolina when he was elected in 1991 to the Chapel Hill Town Council at the age of 21 years, 39 days. He was the first undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to hold elected office in Chapel Hill. (In the 1970s, law student Gerry Cohen was elected to the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen, as the governing board was then known.) Chilton later moved to the neighboring town of Carrboro, where he was elected in 2003 to the Carrboro Board of Aldermen.

Chilton also serves as a real estate broker and attorney for Community Realty, which is wholly owned by EmPOWERment, Inc. According to their website, Community Realty is "the nation's first and only non-profit owned real estate agency."
