Mark Mangini (born 1956) is an American sound editor with over 125 film credits. He has won two Academy Awards, in 2021 for Best Sound for Dune and in 2015 for Best Sound Editing along with David White for their work on Mad Max: Fury Road.[1]

Mangini is renowned for recording and editing a new roar track for Leo the Lion, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) lion mascot (ironically, tiger sounds were used for the effect).[2]

In April 2017, Mangini partnered with Pro Sound Effects to release The Odyssey Collection, developed from his personal sound library built throughout his career with partner Richard L. Anderson.[3][4]

Mangini is of Italian descent.[5] He married actress Annette McCarthy in 1984 and they have two sons. They separated some time later.[6][7][8] He also has a son, Rio, from his marriage to Ann Whatu.
