Mark Turner (born October 4, 1972 in Bebington, England) is a professional footballer, currently playing for Conference North side Tamworth, where he plays as a defender.

He started his career with the now defunct Paget Rangers in the West Midlands Regional League. He then joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1991 where he played under his father, Graham Turner, making a single league appearance in three seasons. A season at Northampton Town followed before he joined Conference side Telford United. In 1996 he played six league matches for Hereford United after his father Graham signed him on transfer deadline day, to bolster his relegation-threatened side. Hereford were ultimately relegated to the Conference and Mark returned to Telford for a second season.

After a two season spell with King's Lynn he joined Tamworth for the first time, playing under Gary Mills, whom he would also play under at Alfreton Town and on his return to Tamworth for the 2007-08 season.

Mark works as a sports tutor at Sutton Coldfield College, Great Barr campus when he is not playing.
