Mark Wright (born 24 February 1982 in Wolverhampton) is a professional footballer who currently plays for Milton Keynes Dons.

Wright is a product of Walsall's long-standing successful youth policy, and aside from a short spell at Nuneaton Borough for some first-team experience, he plied his trade steadily at the Bescot Stadium with Walsall for seven years.

His first appearance in a Walsall shirt came as a late substitute in the 1–1 draw at West Ham in the 2000–01 League Cup second round. Despite a further handful of substitute appearances he didn't make the side regularly, and the 2001–02 season saw him spend some time at Nuneaton. Wright was judged ready for stand-in starting action in 2002, and finally cemented his place in the team by the beginning of 2004. He was released by Walsall in May 2007 and subsequently joined Milton Keynes.

He is the son of former Walsall striker Evran Wright.
