Mark Anthony Hughes (born 16 September 1983 in Dungannon, Northern Ireland) is a tough tackling, Northern Irish footballer, with Chester City.

Mark started his career at Tottenham Hotspur, coming through their youth system and breaking into the reserve side. Mid way through the 2003/2004 season he was loaned out to Oldham Athletic where he impressed sufficiently to be signed permanently for a nomimal fee. He played a little over one season at Oldham before new boss John Sheridan decided he was surplus to requirements and terminated his contract.

From Oldham Athletic he moved into the non-league with Thurrock, but was back in the league a few months later, joining League One side Chesterfield agreed to take him on loan. Three months later, he was on the move again, joining Nationwide Conference club Stevenage Borough a club on very good terms with Tottenham Hotspur and where many ex-Spurs players have wound up. Mark struggled to establish himself in a disappointing league campaign for Stevenage and was once again released, with another former Spurs youngster Stuart Lewis (a fellow tough tackling midfielder) signing for the club.

Hughes is now with Chester City after impressing on trial in July and August 2007. He made his debut for the club on the opening day of 2007-08 against Chesterfield and has been a regular starter for the club in the first few weeks of the current season. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win at Bury on September 15 2007.
