Mark Richt (born February 18, 1960 in Omaha, Nebraska) is the current head coach of the University of Georgia football team.

Mark Richt graduated from Hialeah High School in Hialeah, Florida where he was a star quarterback. He played for the Miami Hurricanes in the early 1980s, graduating in 1982. He served as backup quarterback to future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, although an injury early in the 1981 season put Richt in the starting role for most of the season.

Richt was hired as head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs before the 2001 season, replacing Jim Donnan. He was formerly the offensive coordinator for the Florida State Seminoles, serving under Bobby Bowden. While at Florida State, he coached two Heisman Trophy winners at quarterback in Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke, and was part of two national championships (1993 and 1999) as an assistant coach.

Richt's years at the University of Georgia have resulted in 2 Southeastern Conference Championships (2002 and 2005) as well as runner-up in 2003. Richt's run at Georgia has been the most successful of any coach since Vince Dooley in the early 1980's.
