Mark the Evangelist is the traditional author of the Gospel of Mark.

Another Answer

The writer of the Gospel of Mark is deemed normally to be the man known in the New Testament as John Mark. This is the person referred to in the verse below:

Acts 12:25 (King James Version): And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

Apart from the fact that there is no evidence which contradicts the Markan authorship, there is also concrete positive concrete evidence from external sources supporting it. Papias indicates that Mark got much of his information from the disciple Peter, although he certainly used other sources. The Aramaic coloring of some of Mark's work demonstrates his Jewish background. Others have suggested he also made use of what is referred to as 'Aramaic Matthew', the first Gospel of Matthew, written in Aramaic which is now lost. Whatever were his sources, there is no reason to doubt the attribution to him.
