Mark Nicholls, born Marcus Frederick Nicholls (13 July 1901 – 10 June 1972) was a New Zealand rugby union player and selector.
He played for New Zealand—the All Blacks—as well as Wellington and the North Island.
A member of the legendary 1924–25 All Black "Invincibles", Nicholls was best known as a first five-eighth though he actually played many games, including Tests, at either second-five eighth or centre.
Hugely influential in his day, he has largely become forgotten in modern times although George Nepia and Bert Cooke, two of his better-remembered contemporaries, acknowledged the significance of his role in assisting their success.
