Mark O'Hara (born 12 December 1995) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Dundee in the Scottish Premiership, as a midfielder. O'Hara has previously played for Kilmarnock.
A member of Kilmarnock's under-20 squad O'Hara made his first team debut on 28 August 2012, coming on as an 13th-minute substitute in a Scottish League Cup match against Stenhousemuir, replacing the injured Jeroen Tesselaar in a 2–1 defeat. Aged just 16 on his debut, O'Hara became the fifth youngest person to play competitively for Kilmarnock and only the second youngest in that competition. On 27 October 2012, he made his first start and league debut in a 2–0 win over Celtic at Celtic Park, Kilmarnock's first win at the venue since 1955.
O'Hara signed for Dundee in June 2016. Upon signing for Dundee, he was moved into an attacking midfield position by manager Paul Hartley, who said he didn't know why O'Hara had previously been playing as a defender. On 13 August 2016, he scored his first career goal, in Dundee's 2–1 defeat against Rangers. He then scored again in the following match, getting the equaliser in a 1–1 draw against Hamilton Academical.
On 19 February 2017, he scored the opening goal as Dundee won 2–1 against Rangers, the first time since 1992 that Dundee had beaten them at home in the league.
