Mark John Lynch (born 2 September 1981 in Manchester) is an English footballer. His regular position is at right-back.

A promising junior with Manchester United, Lynch joined St Johnstone on loan for the majority of the 2001–02 season, making 20 appearances in his time in Scotland. He made one senior appearance for Manchester United, against Deportivo de La Coruña in the UEFA Champions League in March 2003, in which he scored an own goal. In July 2004, Lynch moved to Sunderland on a free transfer. He was released by Sunderland after just one season.

Lynch then signed for Hull City in July 2005. He suffered a knee injury in the first minute of his Hull City debut in August 2005 against Queens Park Rangers, and in his first game back against Coventry City he was sent off. He made only 15 further appearances for Hull in the 2005–06 season, the last of which was in January, and at the end of the season he was made available for transfer by manager Peter Taylor.

Lynch moved to Yeovil Town during August 2006, following a brief loan spell. Lynch then joined Rotherham United in 2008 on a two-year deal, after his release by Yeovil. He made his Rotherham United debut against Lincoln City, and scored twice on his third appearance for the club against Morecambe.

On 14 July 2010, he signed for Stockport County.[1] but was released on 31 January 2012. He subsequently joined Altrincham, but was released by the club at the end of the season after making eight first-team appearances.
