"Mark James Chilton" is an English cricketer. Chilton was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Durham University where he won the British Universities tournament in 1997. The same year he made his debut for Lancashire County Cricket Club/Lancashire, aged 20. Chilton has been compared in batting style to fellow Manchester Grammar School student and former Lancashire County Cricket Club/Lancashire and English cricket team/England batsman John Crawley.

Chilton began the 2002 season as one half of Lancashire's first-choice opening partnership with Alec Swann who joined the club in the off-season. For most of the season Chilton struggled for runs in the County Championship, although he was more successful in one-day cricket, scoring two hundreds in the 2002 Benson & Hedges Cup/Benson & Hedges Cup. In September 2002, towards the end of the season, Chilton was awarded his Cap (sport)#Cricket/county cap by Lancashire. He was appointed Lancashire County Cricket Club/Lancashire captain when Warren Hegg resigned in September 2004 after relegation to County Championship Division Two.
