Marcus Bignot (born 22 August 1974 in Birmingham, West Midlands) is an English professional footballer who plays for Millwall, where he plays as a right-back. He is also a coach for Arsenal Ladies, after a spell as manager of Birmingham City, which ended when the club ran into financial difficulties.
Bignot served his apprenticeship with Birmingham City but was released and joined Telford United before going to Kidderminster Harriers for a small fee.
Bignot began his professional career at Kidderminster Harriers in 1996, during which time he was capped for the England C squad, and after 56 appearances moved on Crewe Alexandra in August 1997 for £100,000. At Gresty Road he was the supporters' player of the season 97/98.
After falling into dispute with the club over his contract he joined Bristol Rovers on a free transfer in August 2000. A change of management prompted a move to Queens Park Rangers in March 2001 to rejoin his old manager, Ian Holloway. He spent 18 months at Rushden & Diamonds before being sold back to QPR; a consequence of the financial meltdown at Rushden. On 15 January 2008, Bignot was released by QPR but rejoined Millwall on a permanent basis a few hours later.
Bignot's younger brother Paul is also a professional footballer, who also played for Kidderminster Harriers and Crewe Alexandra. He now plays for Newport County
