Mark McLaughlin (born 2 December 1975 in Greenock) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays for Beith Juniors.
Since turning senior in 1999, McLaughlin has played over 100 games for both Clyde and Hamilton Academical. He has also played for Greenock Morton and Dumbarton.
McLaughlin, a defender, began his career at junior club Arthurlie before moving to Clyde in 1999.
McLaughlin made his debut with Clyde in a 3–1 win away from home against Stenhousemuir. On 7 October 2000 he scored his first senior football goal away to Alloa Athletic at the Recreation Park Alloa's home ground and only two weeks later he scored in a 2–2 draw against Ross County at Broadwood in the Scottish Football League First Division.
In July 2002, McLaughlin had a trial with Luton Town, which was later cancelled because he was struggling with an injury.
After five years at Clyde, he joined Hamilton Academical in 2004. He was part of the 2007–08 campaign for promotion to the SPL.
After McLaughlin's contract expired at Hamilton, he rejected a new deal and decided to join the team that he has supported since childhood, Greenock Morton.
