Mark Fredrick Noble (born 30 September 1962) is a New Zealand chess and lawn bowls player. He was awarded the title of International Correspondence Chess Grandmaster (GM) in 2010, the first New Zealand player to be awarded this title.[2][3]

At the age of 13 he was disabled after being hit by a car, smashing his left hip. However, as a lawn bowler, he generally competes with able-bodied players.[4] He competed in the Open para-sport triples event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where he won the silver medal with teammates Lynda Bennett and Barry Wynks.[5]
