  • Mark Mercuri (born 21 February 1974) was a professional Australian rules football player for Essendon.
  • He played in the 1993 Grand final winning team which defeated Carlton and in the 2000 premiership team which tore Melbourne a new one.
  • In the 1999 AFL season, Mercuri was one of the premier players of the competition, finishing runner-up in the Brownlow Medal, and earning a lucrative and rarely heard-of 5-year contract.
  • Mercuri lost form late in his career, which was put down to his brother's suicide.
  • He retired in the 2004 season, his last game being the 2004 Semi Final against Geelong, which Essendon lost by 10 points. In 2005, there was talk of a comeback, with Mercuri contemplating nominating for the pre-season draft.
