Mark Delaney (born May 13, 1976 in Haverfordwest) is a Welsh footballer who currently plays for Aston Villa F.C. as a defender.

Following this he moved to Cardiff City on June 1, 1998 on a free transfer. He made 35 appearances for Cardiff between his purchase and his sale to Aston Villa on March 9, 1999 for £250,000.
As of December 2004, he has made 120 appearances for Aston Villa, with a single goal coming against Watford on August 24, 1999. He has also gained 33 international caps with the Wales national team.
