Marcus Deon Vick (born March 20, 1984) is a former American football player who briefly appeared in one game for the Miami Dolphins in 2006. He is the younger brother of former NFL quarterback Michael Vick. Both Marcus and Michael played high school football in Newport News Public Schools. Vick accepted a football scholarship to Virginia Tech, playing quarterback, however he was suspended for the entire 2004 season due to numerous criminal convictions. Vick then declared himself eligible for the NFL spring draft in 2006, but went undrafted. He was later signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent but was released on May 1, 2007.

Vick's legal troubles continued after leaving Virginia Tech, and include a charge of brandishing a firearm against a group of people, a civil lawsuit involving a juvenile girl who claimed that she was 15 years old (below the legal age of consent in Virginia) when forced into a sexual situation with Vick, who was 20 years old, and additional traffic incidents and arrests in January 2007, February 2008, and June 2008 in the Hampton Roads area. After the June incident in Norfolk, he was convicted of DUI, misdemeanor eluding police, and driving on the wrong side of the road, and on October 20, 2008, received a 12-month suspended jail sentence and $530 in fines, and his privilege to operate motor vehicles in Virginia was suspended for a year. In November 2012, after the Eagles loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, Vick made controversial tweets criticizing the Eagles offensive line for troubling Vick's brother Michael, and requesting for him to be traded. The tweets have since been deleted. He was arrested in Georgia on December 30, 2013 on charges of driving under the influence of drugs, driving without a license and driving with an expired registration, according to a Forsyth County, Georgia Sheriff’s report. On October 8th, 2016, he was arrested for felony drug possession.
