Marcus Dewayne Hicks (born November 25, 1975) is an American mixed martial artist who currently fights as a lightweight. He is often mistaken for another lightweight mixed martial artist named Marcus Hicks from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Hicks made his professional mixed martial arts debut on January 26, 2002, defeating Ben Hand at Rocky Mountain Slammer 1 via armbar submission. Following this win, Hicks would compile a record of 5–0 before signing with WEC.

After winning his first three fights in the WEC by guillotine choke, Hicks fought Jamie Varner for the WEC Lightweight Championship losing by TKO in the first round.

Hicks next fought former WEC lightweight champion Rob McCullough at WEC 39 on March 1, 2009, losing by majority decision.

In his most recent fight at WEC 42 on August 9, 2009, Hicks lost to Shane Roller by unanimous decision. After his loss to Roller, Hicks was subsequently released from the promotion.
