Mark Robson (born 22 May 1969 in Newham, London) is a former professional football player and is currently the first team coach at Charlton Athletic.

Robson started his career at Exeter City before being transferred to Tottenham Hotspur in 1987. It was at this time he began coaching at his brother's Sunday club. After several loan spells, Robson moved to West Ham in 1992 and then Charlton in 1993. After four years with the Addicks he moved to Notts County where he ended his career in 1999.

Robson's first full time coaching position was at Charlton's academy, where he started in 2000. He stayed in this position for nearly six years until 2006. In March he was promoted to reserve-team manager after Glynn Snodin joined Southampton. In May, after Iain Dowie replaced Alan Curbishley, he was designated 'Development Coach', working with both the first team and reserve team. In November, he was named assistant Head Coach to Les Reed after Dowie was sacked. In January 2007, Robson was named first-team coach after former team-mate Alan Pardew replaced Reed as manager. Robson gained the UEFA Pro Licence in the summer of 2007, a qualification which will allow him to manage a Premier League club.
