Marc Christopher Gwynne Ellis (born 8 October 1971) is a New Zealand businessman, television presenter, and former rugby union and rugby league player who played in the 1990s and 2000s.

He represented New Zealand in both rugby union and rugby league. During the 1995 Rugby World Cup he scored six tries for New Zealand against Japan, which is the record for the most tries by a player in a World Cup match. From 1996 to 1998 he played rugby league for the Auckland Warriors.
