Mark Duley is a choral director and organist from New Zealand. He is the chorus master of the RTÉ Philharmonic Choir.

Duley is a first class honours graduate of Auckland University. Post-graduate studies in organ brought him to the North German Organ Academy and to Amsterdam's Sweelinck Conservatorium, where he was a pupil of Jacques van Oortmerssen. He then worked for time in England, and was organist of Christ's Hospital, before coming to Dublin in 1992 to take up the post of organist and director of music at Christ Church Cathedral. During his eleven years there the cathedral gained international reputation for its music: he directed the choir on many CD recordings, broadcasts on the RTÉ, BBC and EBU networks, and on tours to the UK, France, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, and New Zealand. He is now artistic director of the Irish Baroque Orchestra, which he founded with Thérèse Timoney in 1996.

Duley was the chorus master of the RTÉ Philharmonic Choir for fifteen years, standing down in 2011. He has worked with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and RTÉ Concert Orchestra both as chorus master and organist. Other work with Irish choral ensembles and festivals include, the National Chamber Choir of Ireland, Opera Theatre Company, the Wexford Festival Opera.
