Mark Austin (born 24 February 1989) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League. Austin played two senior games for the Glenelg Tigers in the 2006 SANFL season, and was subsequently selected in the 2006 AFL National Draft in the third round (35th pick overall) by Carlton, who also selected school friend and Glenelg team mate Bryce Gibbs in the same draft. He spent the 2007 season primarily with Carlton's VFL-affiliate, the Northern Bullants. He made his AFL debut in the final round of the 2007 season.
In 2008, Austin returned to the VFL, playing in defence. He started the season at full-back, but was later moved into a centre-half back role, where he began to show good form. Although he is yet to be selected for another AFL game, he has been an emergency on several occasions.
