Mark Beretta (born 16 June 1966) is an Australian journalist.

Beretta was born in Geelong, Victoria on 16 June 1966. He was educated at St. Joseph's College and graduated from Swinburne University, Melbourne with an Engineering Degree.

Originally a water-skier, Beretta was a 10-times Australian champion of the sport. He began his media career on Geelong radio station 3GL in 1989, before moving to Triple M Melbourne. Beretta quickly rose up through the ranks of sport broadcasting in Australia through his NBL reports on Network Ten, and in 1995 the Seven Network signed him up to a sports reporting role, which he continues today on Sunrise and Seven Early News. Beretta, is a fill in for David Koch on Sunrise when he is absent.

In July 2008, Beretta began presenting Seven Early News sport alongside Natalie Barr at 5.30am, which leads into Sunrise where he is still the sports presenter. Beretta joined with Tom Williams to host Rexona Australia's Greatest Athlete, in 2010. In 2011, he again hosted the show, this time alongside dual international, Wendell Sailor.

In October 2010, Mark released his book 'The Riders - Australia's Motorcycle Champions' through publisher HarperCollins. 'The Riders' offers an insider’s view of the world of motorcycle racing, with a collection of stories on 24 of Australia’s greatest motorbike champions.
