Mark Beeney (born 30 December 1967 in Pembury) is a retired English football goalkeeper and currently the Goalkeeping Coach for Chelsea's Reserve and Youth teams.
He began his career with Gillingham in 1986 and after one season he moved to Maidstone United. He remained with Maidstone until 1991 where he joined Brighton & Hove Albion. He then moved to Leeds United in 1993 and served as backup to John Lukic and then Nigel Martyn. In 2000 he joined Doncaster Rovers and then joined non-league side Dover Athletic in 2001 before retiring.
After his retirement he spent a little time as a player/coach at Sittingbourne before taking up the Academy Goalkeeping Coach role at Chelsea. He has worked closely with a number of young stoppers. In September 2007, when Jose Mourinho and his staff left the club, Beeney was temporarily promoted to first team goalkeeping coach and worked with Petr Čech and Carlo Cudicini until the club hired Christophe Lollichon. He now continues his work with the Reserves and Academy.
