Lazar Marković (Serbian Cyrillic: Лазар Марковић; born 2 March 1994) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Hull City, on loan from fellow Premier League club Liverpool, and the Serbia national team.

He started his career at Partizan, before moving to Benfica in 2013 where he won a domestic treble in his only season, before completing a £20 million move to Liverpool. His second season there was spent on loan at Fenerbahçe, and finished prematurely due to injury. He was then transferred to Sporting CP on a season-long loan, which was cancelled in January 2017, after which he was loaned to Hull City.

Marković made his full international debut for Serbia in 2012.

After playing for the youth selections of Borac Čačak, Marković joined Partizan in 2006 as a 12-year-old trainee. On 29 May 2011, coach Aleksandar Stanojević promoted Marković to the first team ahead of the final round of the 2010–11 SuperLiga, which Partizan played against Sloboda Užice. He was given the number 50 shirt. Marković was used as a second-half substitute for Joseph Kizito in his team's 2–1 win.

On 11 July 2011, together with Nikola Ninković, Marković signed his first professional contract with Partizan, on a five-year deal. Marković made his first appearance of the 2011–12 season in Partizan's opener against Shkëndija, in the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, playing the last three minutes of the match. He scored his first senior goal in a league match versus FK Novi Pazar, on 13 August 2011. At the end of the 2011, Marković was voted Partizan's Player of the Year in a poll on the club's website. In his first full senior season, Marković made 26 league appearances and scored six goals. Despite the fact that he did not score any goals in the second half of the championship, Marković earned 2011–12 SuperLiga Team of the Year selection.
