Mark Nauseef (born 1953, in Ithaca, New York, United States), is a drummer and percussionist, best known for his time as a member of the Ian Gillan Band and, temporarily, Thin Lizzy.

Nauseef briefly toured the United Kingdom in 1972 as tour member of The Velvet Underground before joining Elf, fronted by Ronnie James Dio, in early 1975, but the group disbanded shortly afterwards. Accompanied by Elf keyboardist Mickey Lee Soule, Nauseef joined ex-Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan in his new jazz fusion group, simply named the Ian Gillan Band. After three albums, Gillan broke the group up in 1978 and reformed it with a more rock-orientated direction. Nauseef stood in for Thin Lizzy drummer Brian Downey for two international tours, then joined Gary Moore's shortlived band G-Force.

During the 1980s, Nauseef moved away from rock music towards a wide range of styles, including Javanese and Balinese gamelan, as well as music of Indian and Ghanaian origin. He has released several solo albums and worked with many other musicians in an array of different projects.
