Mark Cullen (born 21 April 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for League Two club Blackpool.
Born in Ashington, Northumberland, Cullen joined the Hull City youth system on a two-year scholarship in June 2008. He made his first-team debut as a substitute in a 4–1 defeat to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup third round. He was given a place in the team after scoring 27 goals for the youth team in 2009–10. He made his Premier League debut on 24 April 2010 when he came on as a substitute for George Boateng in the 75th minute of the home match against Sunderland, which Hull lost 1–0. He made his first start for Hull against Wigan in the Premier League on 3 May 2010, and went on to score his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw. He then went on to start in Hull's last game of the season against Liverpool in a 0–0 draw. Cullen scored his second and final goal for Hull in a 2–1 League Cup second round defeat to Brentford on 24 August 2010.
In January 2011, Cullen, along with fellow youth team graduate Tom Cairney, signed a new contract with the club until the summer of 2013. A few days later, Cullen joined League Two club Bradford City on a one-month loan. He played four games during his loan before returning to Hull.
