Pope Mark (in Latin : Marcus) was pope in the year 336. He is said to have been a Roman, but little is known of his early life. He was consecrated on January 18, 336, and died October 7 that same year.

Some evidence suggests that the early lists of bishops and martyrs known as the "Depositio episcoporum" and "Depositio martyrum" were begun during his pontificate. Mark is credited with the foundation of the basilica of San Marco in Rome.

His feast day is on October 7.
