Mark Mallory (born April 2, 1962) is an American politician of the Democratic Party who is currently serving as the mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio. He is Cincinnati's fourth black mayor.

Prior to his election in 2005, he served as assistant Minority Leader in the Ohio Senate. He won a seat in the Ohio House of Representatives in 1994, and served in the Ohio House from 1995 to 1998, when he was elected to the Senate.

Mallory holds a bachelor of science degree in administrative management from the University of Cincinnati.

In the 125th General Assembly, Mallory also served as assistant leader of the Democratic caucus. Mallory was reelected in 2002. Mallory resigned his senate seat to become Cincinnati's mayor in 2005. He defeated fellow Democrat David Pepper to win the election. Ohio's term limits law would have prevented him from running for a third consecutive term in the state senate. Mallory was elected to a second term as Mayor on November 3, 2009

He is the son of former Ohio House of Representatives Majority Leader William L. Mallory, Sr.,^[1] brother of Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge William L. Mallory, Jr., brother Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Dwane Mallory, brother of Ohio State Representative Dale Mallory and brother of former Vice-Mayor of Forest Park Joe Mallory.

On April 2, 2007, Mallory tried to throw an Opening Day pitch at a Cincinnati Reds game, but it flew thirty feet to the first base side of home plate, terribly missing the intended target, Eric Davis. The pitch received national media attention (including appearances on Good Morning America and Cold Pizza),^[2] and Mallory got a chance to make amends on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, but again failed to come anywhere close to the target with his throw. He was given a "second, second-chance" and finally completed a toss to actor Kurt Russell.^[3]^[4] Mallory said that he was using the attention as an opportunity to "talk about Cincinnati's positives".^[5]
