Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, born on 9 March 1991, is an Indonesian former badminton player who reached world number one in men's doubles alongside Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. The pair, nicknamed the Minions for their small stature and quick, bouncing style, were named BWF Best Male Players of the Year in consecutive years after winning seven Superseries titles in 2017 and eight World Tour titles in 2018, including back to back All England Open titles. Gideon started at the Tangkas club in Jakarta aged nine, left the national training centre in 2013 to play as an independent with Markis Kido, with whom he won the 2013 French Open, and was paired with Sukamuljo in 2015.
