Mark McGowan (born 31 May 1988) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for St Eunan's and, at all levels, the Donegal county team.
Known for his defensive play, he could also play further forward in attack and was considered tailor-made for "The System" deployed by Jim McGuinness.
Considered the best left cornerback in his age group in the province of Ulster in 2006, a persistent hip injury forced him to retire from the game at the age of just 25.
