Mark O'Sullivan (born 1973) is an Irish retired Gaelic footballer who played as a full-forward for the Cork senior team.

Born in Newmarket, County Cork, O'Sullivan first excelled at Gaelic football in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 1994 championship. O'Sullivan went on to play a key role for the team over the next seven years, winning two Munster medals and one National Football League medal.[1] He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team at various times, O'Sullivan won one Railway Cup medal in 1999. At club level he is a one-time junior championship medallist with Newmarket.[2]

Throughout his career O'Sullivan made 16 championship appearances for Cork. He retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 2001 championship.
