Mark Aarons (born 25 December 1951) is an Australian journalist and author. He was a political adviser to NSW Premier Bob Carr.

Aarons was born in Newcastle, New South Wales but was brought up in Sydney. He was educated at Fairfield Boys High School and North Sydney Boys High School.

He is the son of the late Laurie Aarons, former secretary of the Communist Party of Australia. Mark Aarons was a member of the Communist Party of Australia from 1969 to 1978, and a Young Communist organiser in 1977.[1]

Mark Aarons' activism started at NSBHS in the mid-1960s especially in organising students to protest the Vietnam War. His 1986 ABC radio documentary series ‘Nazis in Australia’ prompted the Hawke government’s inquiry into war criminals and formation of Special Investigations Unit.[2][3]
