Mark Jonathan Briggs (born 16 February 1982) is an English former professional footballer and current head coach of Real Monarchs.

Briggs began his career with West Bromwich Albion, joining them on leaving Sedgley's Dormston School in the summer of 1998 and making six appearances for the Baggies before moving to Danish football for 2 seasons with Herfølge in 2003. While playing for Herfølge, Briggs auditioned for the third season of the Danish version of the reality show 'Big Brother', and made it to the final casting stage. Briggs never appeared on the show, deciding instead to move back to England.

After returning to England, Briggs signed for Notts County, but only played 10 games before leaving as the club fell into administration in the summer of 2004.

He then proceeded to bounce around the English and Welsh lower leagues, playing briefly for a multitude of clubs including AFC Telford United, Shrewsbury Town and Northwich Victoria and Welshpool Town.

Briggs settled at Hednesford Town in December 2005, playing 18 games in a season which saw Hednesford relegated from the Conference North, after which he moved on to Willenhall Town. He played nearly the whole of the 2006–07 season at Noose Lane, before making a switch to Chasetown in April 2007.

In May 2008 Briggs was convinced to cross the Atlantic by former New Zealand international Stu Riddle to play for Kalamazoo Outrage in the USL Premier Development League as an over-age player. He played the PDL season in Kalamazoo, helping the team reach the PDL playoffs.
