Marc Lock (born 21 June 1991) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) and for Box Hill in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Originally from Adelaide, Lock moved to Queensland and played for Southport as a junior. He was recruited to the newly established Gold Coast Football Club as a zone selection at the end of 2008. Lock was made the inaugural captain of the club, and served as captain for the club's two formative seasons: 2009, when the club competed in the TAC Cup under-18s competition, and 2010, when the club competed in the VFL senior competition. He won the club best and fairest in its TAC Cup season.{{cite news|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/former-gold-coast-captain-locked-in-for-box-hill/story-fn53khop-1226195582298|title=Former Gold Coast captain locked in for Box Hill|first=Paul|last=Amy|newspaper=Leader|date=16 November 2011|accessdate=9 August 2017}}
