Mạc Anh Tổ (Chinese: 莫英祖, 1560 - 1592) was the fifth and effectively last reigning emperor of the Mạc dynasty from 1562 to 1592.

Mạc Anh Tổ was born in 1560 at Đông Đô with the real name Mạc Mậu Hợp (莫茂洽). He became the emperor in 1562.

In 1592, the Southern dynasty's forces under lord Trịnh Tùng conquered the capital Đông Đô along with the rest of the Northern provinces. Anh Tổ was captured during the retreat at one pagoda of Phượng Nhỡn district (Lạng Giang prefecture) and was cut to pieces over three days at Thảo Tân margin (Đông Đô).

However, his son Mạc Toàn and other successors continued to hold Cao Bình county during 1592-3.

Firstly his temple name was named as Mục Tông (穆宗) then changed as Anh Tổ (英祖) by duke Mạc Kính Cung.
