Mark Tampin (born 20 January 1992) is an English rugby union player who plays for Newcastle Falcons in the Premiership Rugby. Mark started his career with Leeds Carnegie in 2010 remaining there for three years, during which time he featured as a dual-registered player in the National Leagues with Wharfedale and Harrogate.

He remained with Ealing for two years before agreeing a move to Newcastle in Summer 2019 where  he was part of the squad which won promotion from the Championship in 2019-20 season as Falcons ended the campaign undefeated with 15 victories, the league having been curtailed and ultimately cancelled on 20 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. A Premiership Rugby debut was achieved on 21st November 2020 as he came off the bench for Logovi'i Mulipola as Falcons defeated Bath Rugby 12-19 in the opening round of the Premiership season. On 31st May 2021 it was announced by Newcastle that he had renewed terms for a further two years and  would remain with the club until at least 2023. Mark's grandfather was David 'Wrecker' Brooks (1924-2002) who played for Harlequins and was President of Surrey (1971-73) and later President of the RFU (1981-1982) although he is perhaps best remembered as the Tour Manager of the British Lions 1968 tour to South Africa.
