Mark Wayne Alleyne MBE (born 23 May 1968) is an English cricket coach and former first-class cricketer who made ten One Day International appearances for England between 1998/99 and 2000/01. He is the head coach at Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.

Classed as an all-rounder, he mostly batted in the middle of the order and bowled at a medium pace, but he has also kept wicket for both England and his county, Gloucestershire.

He is the first Black British and third Black overall to coach an English first-class cricket team after Derief Taylor and John Shepherd.[1]
