Mason Lino is a Samoan professional rugby league player who currently plays for the New Zealand Warriors in the National Rugby League.

Lino was a Marist Saints junior and attended Avondale College.

Lino trialled for the New Zealand Warriors' NYC squad in 2012, earning a place in the squad. He finished the season as the team's top points-scorer with 144 points in 23 games. He attended an NRL rookie camp on the 24 and 25 November 2012.

Lino scored 147 points for the Junior Warriors in 2013, taking his total to 281 from 41 appearances. The side lost the 2013 Holden Cup grand final 30-42. He also played for the Junior Kiwis in their 26-38 loss to the Junior Kangaroos on 13 October 2013.

He was named in the Samoan train-on squad for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup. He did not make the squad after the cut to 25 players.

In 2014, he co-captained the Junior Warriors Holden Cup team in their 34-32 grand final victory over the Brisbane Broncos, kicking five conversions out of six and finishing the match on the pitch despite suffering a partial shoulder dislocation. He finished his Holden Cup career with 503 points from 62 appearances, becoming the third most-capped Junior Warrior behind Ben Henry and John Palavi.

Lino had signed with AS Carcassonne for the 2015 season, but the contract was cancelled after his shoulder dislocation in the 2014 Holden Cup grand final. Instead, Lino re-signed with the Warriors to play in their New South Wales Cup squad.
