Mark Uth (born 24 August 1991) is a left-footed German footballer who plays as a striker for 1899 Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.
Uth started playing football at TuS Langel, a small club located in the south of Cologne. In 2004 he joined 1. FC Köln, left 2007 for Viktoria Köln and came back to 1. FC Köln only two years later. In 2010 he was promoted to the second team playing in fourth tier Regionalliga West. After good performances there, he even became a member of the first team's squad for the 2011–12 Bundesliga season, although he did not play a single match at the end.
Because 1. FC Köln had several further young strikers up their sleeve, it was decided that Uth could leave the club. On 10 May 2012, it was announced that he had signed for SC Heerenveen on a three-year contract.
He scored a hattrick while playing on loan for Heracles Almelo in their match against Waalwijk on the 28th of September 2013.
He signed for Bundesliga side 1899 Hoffenheim in July 2015 for a fee of €3 million
Uth has earned one cap for the Germany U20 team. In a 3-2 victory versus Switzerland on 6 September 2010 he was put in for Cenk Tosun in the 65th minute.
