Marcus Åke Jens-Erik Nilsson (born 26 February 1988) is a Swedish footballer, currently playing as a central defender for Kalmar FF, on loan from FC Utrecht, in the Swedish Allsvenskan.

He made his first appearance in Helsingborgs IF 2007 and became a first team regular in 2009. Since then, his progress has been steady and he is now a regular for the Sweden national under-21 football team, where he plays alongside his HIF partner Joel Ekstrand. Together, Ekstrand and Nilsson constituted a couple considered one of the strongest of the Allsvenskan central defenders.
