Mark Geoffrey Powell (born 5 August 1972) is a former English cricketer. Powell was a right-handed batsman who bowled slow left-arm orthodox. He was born at Romford, Essex.

Powell made his debut for Norfolk against Herefordshire. He played Minor counties cricket for Norfolk in 1995 and 1996, making seventeen Minor Counties Championship[1] and two MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances.[2] He made his List A debut for the county in the 1995 NatWest Trophy against Leicestershire. Two List A appearances followed for the Minor Counties in the 1996 Benson & Hedges Cup, before making a second and final appearance for Norfolk in that format against Hampshire in the 1996 NatWest Trophy.[3] He met little success in his four List A matches, top scoring with 37 with the bat, while taking just a single wicket with the ball.

He left Norfolk at the end of the 1996 season, later playing three matches for the Essex Cricket Board in the 1998 MCCA Knockout Trophy.[2] His brother, Jonathan, played first-class cricket for Essex.
