Mark Rasmussen, born October 28, 1983 in Newcastle, England is a striker currently playing for Northern League Division One side Newcastle Benfield.

He started his career at Football League Championship outfit Burnley, who he joined after being spotted by scout Jack Hixon. He made his debut for the Clarets on April 19, 2003, replacing Matthew O'Neill. His second and final game for Burnley was a substitute appearance on April 21, 2003, when he replaced Gordon Armstrong. However, he was released at the end of the 2002-03 season by Stan Ternent.

He then moved to Accrington Stanley on a free transfer, but struggled to make the first team and ended up playing solely in the reserves. One year later, he moved on to non-league side Gateshead. He scored on his debut for the Tynesiders along with former Burnley team-mate Anthony Shandran, but was transfer-listed straight after the match for talking to other clubs and failing to maintain a suitable level of fitness. He joined West Allotment Celtic before moving to Newcastle Benfield after just one season.

In his younger days, he played for the England schoolboys team.
