Mark Bardei (Ukrainian: Марк Бардей, born 15 July 1996) is a Ukrainian pair skater. With partner Renata Ohanesian, he has won three ISU Junior Grand Prix medals, including gold at 2015 JGP Latvia, and two Ukrainian senior national titles.
Bardei began skating in 2001. He and Renata Ohanesian made their international debut in March 2012 at the International Challenge Cup, placing fifth in junior pairs.
In the 2014–15 season, Ohanesian/Bardei won the junior gold medal at the Lombardia Trophy in September 2014. The following week, they competed at their first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignment, placing second in the short program, eighth in the free skate, and fifth overall at the event in Tallinn, Estonia. In October, they took the bronze medal at a JGP event in Zagreb, Croatia, having climbed from seventh place after the short program.
Ohanesian/Bardei won both the senior and junior national titles and were selected to represent Ukraine at the World Junior Championships in March 2015 in Tallinn. After placing 12th in the short program, they withdrew from the competition due to Bardei's illness.
Ohanesian/Bardei's first assignment of the 2015–16 JGP series took place in late August in Riga, Latvia. Ranked first in the short and second in the free, they won the gold medal ahead of Russian pairs Anastasia Poluianova / Stepan Korotkov and Ekaterina Borisova / Dmitry Sopot. In September, they took bronze at the JGP in Linz, Austria, having ranked third in both segments, and qualified for the JGP Final. They placed fifth at the latter event, which was held in December in Barcelona, Spain.
