Mark A. Murdock (born February 20, 1952) is a Minnesota politician and former member of the Minnesota House of Representatives representing District 10B, which included portions of Becker, Otter Tail and Wadena counties in the northwestern part of the state. A Republican, he is also the owner and operator of an ACE Hardware in Perham.[1]

Murdock attended Southwest State College in Marshall, graduating with a B.A. in history and political science in 1974. He has been active in his community as a bank board and chamber of commerce member, and is a former president of the local Jaycees.[5]
