Marcus Plínio Diniz Paixão (born 1 August 1987 in Vitoria), commonly known as Marcus or Marquinhos is a Brazilian football defender. He currently plays for A.C. Milan, but is on loan to Serie C1 club Monza for the 2007-2008 football season.

Marquinhos started his career at Caxias Futebol Clube, of the Itararé quarter. He spent nine years there before transferring to the youth system of Vasco da Gama. He then moved to Vitoria-BA before returning to Caxias in 2004. He signed with the Rosseneri in late 2004 and has been a featured player in Milan's youth system. He has yet to break into the first team and due to this Milan has decided to loan him out to Serie C1 club Monza to get some first team experience.
