Mark L. Mallory (born April 4, 1962) of Cincinnati, Ohio, is an American politician of the Democratic party, who, in the 126th Ohio General Assembly, served as assistant minority leader in the Ohio Senate. On November 8, 2005, he was elected Mayor of Cincinnati. He is the first African American elected under the new strong mayor system.
Mallory holds a bachelor of science degree in administrative management from the University of Cincinnati. He won a seat in the Ohio House of Representatives in 1994, and served in the Ohio House from 1995 to 1998, when he was elected to the Senate. In the 125th General Assembly, Mallory also served as assistant leader of the Democratic caucus. Mallory was reelected in 2002. Mallory resigned his senate seat to become Cincinnati's mayor in 2006. He narrowly defeated fellow Democrat David Pepper Jr. to win the election. Ohio's term limits law would have prevented him from running for a third consecutive term in the state senate.
He is the son of former Ohio House of Representatives Majority Leader William L. Mallory, Sr., brother of Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge William L. Mallory, Jr., brother of Ohio State Representative Dale Mallory and brother of former Vice-Mayor of Forest Park Joe Mallory.
