Mark Alan Dewey (born January 3, 1965 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is a former Major League Baseball player. He is currently a pitching coach for the Brevard County Manatees, located in Viera, FL. The Manatees are the Class A-Advanced (High-A) Minor League Baseball affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.

He appeared in 205 major league games and had a lifetime record of 12-7 (.632 winning percentage) with 168 strikeouts, 70 games finished and 8 saves.

Dewey was involved in a notable controversy on July 28, 1996, when he refused to participate with his teammates in a pregame ceremony intended to support research of a cure for AIDS. As part of "Until There's A Cure Day", members of the Giants wore AIDS awareness ribbons on their uniforms and stood in a group shaped like that symbol during speeches by Peter Magowan and Willie Brown. Dewey refused to take the field for the ceremony, and he wore his ribbon sideways (which would have resembled the Jesus fish symbol). He cited religious reasons for his refusal, voicing the belief that homosexuality is a sin.〔Dickey, Glenn.
