Mark Hudson (born October 24, 1980) is a professional footballer who plays in central defence for Charlton Athletic FC in Coca-Cola Championship.

After failing to make a significant breakthrough into the Middlesbrough side, Hudson was sold to Chesterfield in 2003 after a short loan period there and at Carlisle United. He subsequently made a name of himself as a central midfielder at the Spireites.

Huddersfield snapped up Hudson on a free transfer in June 2005. After scoring a tremendous free kick against Bradford City, Hudson found it hard to cement a place in the Huddersfield central midfield, as he was up against captain Jon Worthington and youngsters Adnan Ahmed and Michael Collins. By the end of the 2005-06 season, Town manager Peter Jackson, started putting him in a holding midfield role.

On January 25, 2007, after several poor performances, the Huddersfield manager Peter Jackson put Hudson on the transfer list^[1] and on March 3, 2007 Jackson announced on BBC Radio Leeds that he would never select Hudson or teammate Martin McIntosh again.^[2]

Since the departure of Jackson, however, Hudson returned to the side until the end of the season, when he was told his contract would not be renewed and was released.

He was signed by Rotherham United on June 14, 2007.

He was then signed by Crystal Palace FC Before signing for Charlton Athletic FC in May 2008.
