Mark Fredrick Noble, born on 30 September 1962, is a New Zealand lawn bowls player who is also a chess master. He became the first New Zealander awarded the title of International Correspondence Chess Grandmaster, in 2010, and holds the FIDE Master title for over the board play. Disabled at the age of thirteen after being hit by a motorist, he generally competes in bowls alongside able-bodied players.
