Mark Curry (born 27 August 1961 in Stafford, England) is a British television presenter. He started his career in entertainment in 1976, when he played the producer in the film Bugsy Malone.

In 1984, he was host of a popular half hour Children's BBC TV series called Screen Test, filmed in Manchester. The programme had two teams of 12 to 15 year school pupils representing schools from England Scotland and Wales to watch short clips from live action and animated movies. The object of the TV game was to score points by answering questions from the clips they had just seen. The programme also featured a Young Film Maker's competition. Films submitted by contestants below the age of 16 were usually filmed on Super 8 mm film and those who had films broadcast were awarded with a Certificate Of Merit.

In 1985, he presented the BBC Saturday Morning Picture Show with Maggie Philbin.

On 23 June 1986 he joined the children's television programme, Blue Peter. In his time on the show, he did such things as being strapped to the wheels of a revolving windmill and accidentally knocking the head off a man made of Lego. He left the show on 26 June 1989.

In 1998, he presented a DIY show called Change That and also presented the final series of the popular quiz show, Catchphrase
in 2002.

More recently he has been a presenter on the now defunct TV Travel Shop channel on Sky Digital.
