Mark Soden (born 23 November 1968) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played for the North Sydney Bears for eleven seasons.

The advent of the ten-metre defensive rule in 1994 seemed tailor-made to Soden's nippiness around the rucks and smart kicking game which kept captain Tony Rea in reserve grade during the clubs run to the preliminary final that year.

Over the next 5 seasons, Soden was a mainstay of the North Sydney team and considered very unlucky not to play origin for NSW.

The following year, Norths made the preliminary final again against Newcastle but missed the game due to a late season knee reconstruction.

In 2021, Soden was given the honour of life member along with North Sydney legend Mark Graham.
