Chinghla Mong Chowdhury Mari (Bengali: চিং হ্লা মং চৌধুরী মারী; 29 September 1938 – 10 May 2012), commonly known as Mari Chowdhury, was a Bangladeshi football player who played as a left-winger. He is considered to be the best East Pakistani footballer of all time, and one of the few East Pakistanis to play for the Pakistan national team.
Despite the fact that most of his goals are unregistered, Mari is the unrecognised all-time top scorer in both Dhaka First Division League and Bangladesh top-tier football history with 234 goals.
