Mark Stallard (born 24 October 1974) is a former English professional footballer who last played for Conference North side Corby Town as a striker. He made more than 450 appearances in the Football League between 1991 and 2008, scoring 134 goals.

Born in Derby, Stallard began his career as a trainee in the town with Derby County in 1991. He made more than 30 league and cup appearances for Derby and spent short periods on loan at Fulham and Bradford City.

Stallard signed with Bradford on a permanent basis in January 1996 for a transfer fee of £110,000. He scored the second goal during Bradford's 1996 Second Division play-off final victory. A short loan spell at Preston North End in the 1996–97 season was immediately followed by a move away from The Bantams.

Stallard fetched £100,000 in his transfer to Wycombe Wanderers in March 1997, where he scored 23 goals in 73 league games.

Stallard joined Notts County in March 1999 for a fee of £10,000, where he stayed for almost five years. He scored 66 times in 185 league appearances and was named the club's player of the year and players' player of the year in 2003 after scoring 25 goals as Notts County battled against relegation during the 2002–03 season.

Stallard joined Barnsley in January 2004 but made only 15 appearances, before being allowed to join Chesterfield on loan in September 2004. After three months at Chesterfield, he then re-joined Notts County in February 2005 on loan for the remainder of the 2004–05 season. He was released by Barnsley at the end of the season.

Stallard joined Shrewsbury Town on a two-year contract in July 2005. He spent only one season at Shrewsbury Town, where he scored six times in 37 league appearances, before leaving the club.
