Mark Dunn (born 1956 Memphis, Tennessee) is an American author and playwright.
Among the twenty-five plays Dunn has written (as of 2001), Belles and Five Tellers Dancing in the Rain have been produced over one hundred and fifty times. Dunn is presently playwright-in-residence with the New Jersey Repertory Company and the Community Theatre League in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He has also written four novels, Ella Minnow Pea (2001), Welcome to Higby (2002), Ibid: A Life (2004), and The Calamitous Adventures Of Rodney And Wayne.
Dunn seems to be particularly interested in constrained writing, with Ella Minnow Pea being a "progressively lipogrammatic" epistolary novel, and Ibid: A Life, comprised entirely from the endnotes of a fictional "lost" biography.
Dunn lives with his wife Mary in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
