Mark Leckey (* 1964 in Birkenhead) ist ein britischer Videokünstler. In seiner Arbeit verbindet er Videos, Installationen und Soundskulpturen mit Elementen aus der Sub- und Jugendkultur in England. Sie thematisieren die „billige, aber irgendwie romantische Eleganz gewisser Aspekte der britischen Kultur“. Von 2005 bis 2010 war er Professor an der Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main.
