Mark Sinclair Chapman (born 27 June 1994) is a Hong Kong cricketer. Chapman is a left-handed batsman who bowls slow left-arm orthodox. He made his One Day International debut for Hong Kong against the United Arab Emirates in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship on 16 November 2015.[1]

Chapman was born in Hong Kong to a Chinese mother and a father from New Zealand. He was sent to boarding school in New Zealand at the age of 14, and went on to study at the University of Auckland.[2] Having played for the Hong Kong under-19 team at the 2010 Under-19 World Cup, aged 15,[3] Chapman made his World Cricket League debut for Hong Kong at the 2011 Division Three tournament, where he helped Hong Kong earn promotion to 2011 World Cricket League Division Two. It was in the latter tournament that he made his List A debut against Uganda. He played five further List A matches in the competition, the last of which was Papua New Guinea.[4] In his six matches in the competition, he scored 192 runs at a batting average of 38.40, with two half centuries and a high score of 81.[5] His highest score came against the United Arab Emirates.[6]

In November 2015, Chapman was selected as vice-captain in Hong Kong's squad for its two World Cricket League fixtures against the UAE, both of which held ODI status.[1] On his ODI debut in the first match, he scored 124 not out from 116 balls, becoming the first Hong Kong player to score an ODI century.[7][8] Chapman also became one of only ten players (and the first and only player from associate nations) to score a century on their ODI debut, and one of only two to do so at a strike rate of greater than 100.00 (the other being Desmond Haynes).[9]

Chapman made his first-class debut on 17 December 2015 in the 2015–16 Plunket Shield.[10]
