Mark Reynolds (born 7 May 1987) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a central defender for Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen. He began his career at Motherwell and also played in England for Sheffield Wednesday.
Reynolds started his football career at hometown club Motherwell and made his debut on 3 May 2006, starting in a 1–0 win over relegated Livingston. He would then sign a two-year contract. The following season, Reynolds became a regular in the first team. Reynolds first goal for the club came on 30 September 2006, in a 5–0 win over Kilmarnock and he scored his second later in the season in a 3–2 loss against Dundee United on 16 December 2006. In November 2007, Reynolds, along with David Clarkson, signed a contract extension at the club, keeping him at the club until 2011.

On 4 June 2008, it was reported that Rangers had made an offer of £750,000 for Reynolds, which was turned down. Then-Motherwell manager Mark McGhee explained that he wanted to retain the club's better players ahead of their UEFA Cup campaign. Reynolds would stay at Motherwell for another season Reynolds, himself, stated he prefer playing in the Premier League than joining any Old Firm clubs. and went on to make his European debut where he played both legs against Nancy in the first round. In the 2009/10 season, Reynolds played in all 6 games during Motherwell's Europa League campaign where the club were eventually eliminated by Steaua București.
