Mark Warner is a privately owned British tour operator founded in 1974 by Mark Chitty and Andrew Searle. It is based in London and provides both beach and ski holidays.

The company originally specialised in singles ski holidays but has expanded into family and beach resort holidays. The company started with just one chalet in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier in 1974. Its summer destinations feature 10 beach resorts in Corsica, Egypt, Greece, Portugal, Mauritius, Sardinia and Sri Lanka, plus two in the French Alps.[1]. The company's winter programme includes Chalet hotels across the Alps.

Mark Warner's childcare services were criticised in the BBC's Whistleblower programme in February 2008.[2] In the same programme, it was discovered that staff were working illegally in Egypt, using tourist visas instead of work visas.[3] The company subsequently apologised and revised its procedures for hiring staff.[4]
