Mark Fotheringham is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Yarraville and Williamstown football clubs in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in the 1970s and 1980s.

A full-forward originally from Aberfeldie in the Essendon District Football League (EDFL), Fotheringham played some reserves grade football in the Victorian Football League for {{AFL Ess}} in 1975, but never progressed to its senior team. He consequently returned to Aberfeldie, and played there until 1977.[1]

In 1978, at age 21, Fotheringham signed to play for the Yarraville Football Club, then playing in the VFA's second division. He was an immediate success at the club, and in his first season became the first Yarraville forward to kick 100 goals in a season,[1] and was the Division 2 leading goalkicker, with 105 goals.[2][3] The following year, he kicked 129 goals to be the leading goalkicker in the home-and-away season,[4] but finished second overall after the finals.[5] He played two more years with Yarraville, finishing with a total of 357 goals for the club, and was club captain in 1981.[6]

In 1982, Fotheringham left the ailing Yarraville club and sought a move to a Division 1 club; after attracting interest from all three western suburban Division 1 clubs (Coburg, Werribee and Williamstown), he joined Williamstown.[8] He was the Division 1 leading goalkicker in back-to-back seasons in 1983 and 1984, kicking 108 goals[7] and 114 goals respectively,[8] and was two goals short of the title in 1985 with 106 goals.[9] He served as club captain in 1983,[10] and he won his only career VFA premiership with Williamstown in 1986.[8] He retired at age thirty after suffering a serious knee injury late in the 1987 season.[11]

As of 2016, Fotheringham's career total of 928 goals places him fourth on the VFA/VFL's all-time goalkicking list.[8] He averaged 5.3 goals per game throughout his career, and scored more than 100 goals in a season five times. He was named at full forward in the Williamstown Team of the Century, and was an inaugural inductee into the club's Hall of Fame in 2014.[12]

After leaving Williamstown, Fotheringham served as coach of the Keilor Football Club in the EDFL.{{sfn|Fiddian|2003|p=146}} From 1992 until 1993, Fotheringham served as general manager of the Williamstown Football Club.[13]
