Mark Dale Thomas McGregor (born 16 February 1977) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for North West Counties League Premier Division club Runcorn Town; he is also the club's assistant manager. He played 498 games in a 13-year career in the Football League, mostly in the third tier.

He started his career at Wrexham in 1995, and made 288 league and cup appearances in his six years for the Welsh club, before he signed with Burnley. In July 2004 he moved from Burnley to Blackpool. In January 2006 he transferred to Port Vale, before joining Conference side Altrincham in August 2008. He stayed in Altrincham for one season, before becoming player-manager at Gap Connah's Quay. He led the club to the Cymru Alliance title for two consecutive seasons. He returned to just playing football with Cefn Druids in January 2015. He was appointed player-assistant manager of Runcorn Town in April 2016.

McGregor started off as a trainee for Wrexham, signing a professional contract for the first time in July 1995. He first came to prominence in the 1995–96 season, making 33 appearances in the Second Division. He continued to be a regular feature at the Racecourse Ground, making 44 appearances in 1996–97. The youngster was a consistent first team player for the "Dragons" by 1997–98, hitting 48 appearances in league and cup competitions. He missed just a handful of games in 1998–99, making a total of 56 appearances. On the last day of the 1999–2000 season he put a speculative long range effort past Gillingham's Vince Bartram, costing the "Gills" an automatic promotion place, to the benefit of Burnley; this was the only goal of his 52 appearances that season. He was voted Wrexham's Player of the Year in 2000–01 for his performances during his 47 appearances over the course of the campaign. In total, he played 288 league and cup games for Brian Flynn's side.
