Mark Eaves (born 13 April 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Eaves, who was recruited from Doncaster Football Club and played in the Fitzroy Under-19s, made just two league appearances for Fitzroy. A defender, he played in a game against Richmond in 1982 and took part in Fitzroy's 86 point win over Melbourne at Junction Oval in 1983.[2][3]
Following his delisting by Fitzroy, Eaves moved to the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) in 1984 to play for North Adelaide before returning to Melbourne to play with Victorian Football Association (VFA) club Sandringham. At his new club he was used as a forward and kicked five goals in Sandringham's 1985 VFA Grand Final triumph, to win the Norm Goss Memorial Medal.[4]
