Mark Edmondson (sometimes mistakenly spelled Edmundson) (born 24 June 1954 in Gosford, New South Wales) is a former professional Australian male tennis player.

Edmondson is best remembered for his victory at the Australian Open in 1976, in which he was unseeded in the tournament and beat three-time Wimbledon champion John Newcombe.[1] He is the last Australian to date to win the men's singles at the Australian Open. This win was particularly notable because he is the lowest-ranked winner of a major since the ATP rankings were introduced in 1973. He was ranked 212th at the time.[2]

Eddo has won six career singles titles and 34 in doubles, including five major titles.
