Mark Margolis (born 26 November 1939; age 84) is an actor who played Dr. Nel Apgar in TNG: "A Matter of Perspective". He is the father of Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise guest star Morgan Margolis. Coincidentally, both he and his son appeared in episodes in which Craig Richard Nelson guest starred.

He has had recurring roles on numerous television shows, including The Equalizer (starring Robert Lansing and Keith Szarabajka), HBO's Oz, and most recently NBC's Crossing Jordan. He also appeared in a first season episode of Quantum Leap, starring Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell.

Margolis' motion picture credits throughout the 1980s include Diner (1982), Scarface (1983, with F. Murray Abraham, Harris Yulin and Gregg Henry), The Bedroom Window (1987, with Wallace Shawn, Brad Greenquist, and Leon Rippy), The Secret of My Succe$s (1987, with Bruce McGill), and Glory (1989, with Bob Gunton, Cliff De Young, Richard Riehle, and Star Trek: Voyager star Ethan Phillips). In 1992, Margolis played an illegal gun runner on Law & Order in season 2's "Prince Of Darkness" where his character shoots Detective Phil Ceratta played by TNG guest star Paul Sorvino. Sorvino was leaving the show and that was how he was written of the series.

In 1994, he had a brief but memorable role in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, playing Ace Ventura's suspicious landlord, Mr. Shickadance. That film also featured Noble Willingham and Tiny Ron. Other films include 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992, with Frank Langella), Absolute Power (1997, with Penny Johnson), The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), and the acclaimed Requiem for a Dream (2000, with Christopher McDonald).

In 2003, he appeared in an uncredited role in the comic book actioner Daredevil, which also featured Erick Avari, Leland Orser, and (in the Director's Cut) Jude Ciccolella. He will next appear in the long-awaited science fiction drama The Fountain, along with Donna Murphy.
