Mark Richard Norman CBE (3 April 1910 – 6 December 1994) was an English banker from the Norman family. He was a managing director of Lazard Brothers, the merchant bankers from 1960 to 1975 and chairman of Gallaher, the cigarette manufacturers.

Norman combined his respective careers in the City and industry with a prominent role in the affairs of the National Trust — an interest he inherited from his father, Ronald Collet Norman. Norman took over as deputy chairman of the Trust in 1977. Faced with rising maintenance costs and a rapid expansion of the property portfolio, he guarded short-term solvency while keeping a clear eye on long-term liabilities.
