Mark Noble

Mark Fredrick Noble (born 30 September 1962) is a New Zealand chess and lawn bowls player. He was awarded the title of International Correspondence Chess Grandmaster (GM) in 2010, the first New Zealand player to be awarded this title, and holds the title of FIDE Master (FM) for over the board chess. He also holds the FIDE title of National Arbiter.

At the age of 13, he was disabled after being hit by a motorist, smashing his left hip. However, as a lawn bowler, he generally competes with able-bodied players.

Noble competed in the Open para-sport triples event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where he won the silver medal with teammates Lynda Bennett and Barry Wynks. He won another silver medal, along with teammates Bruce Wakefield and Barry Wynks, in the Open para-sport triples event at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

In the Men's pairs B6–8 event at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, Noble secured the silver medal with partner Kurt Smith.
