Mark Warburton (born March 22, 1968) is a retired American artistic gymnast. He was a member of the United States men's national artistic gymnastics team and won a silver medal at the 1991 Pan American Games.

Warburton was born on March 22, 1968, in Burlington, Vermont, to Georgia C. and R. King Warburton. He was raised in Dunbarton, New Hampshire.[1] His sister participated in gymnastics and Warburton followed her lead while in grade school.[2] He trained under coach Bob Abbott for 4 years and followed the coach to different clubs to stay together.[2] While in high school, he decided to switch gyms to Massachusetts' Stony Hill Gymnastics Club under coach Mike McCarthy.[2]
