Marcus Fraser (born 23 June 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for club St. Mirren.

Celtic
Raised in Bishopbriggs, Fraser joined Celtic when he was eight years old, progressing through the youth ranks signing a three-year professional contract in the summer of 2010. Whilst a member of Celtic's under-19 squad, he was called up to the first team for a friendly match against Athletic Bilbao on 26 March 2011. He made his debut the following season, on 3 November 2011, in a 3–1 win against Rennes in the UEFA Europa League, coming on as a substitute at half time and playing in the centre of defence. Fraser made his first start for Celtic in a Scottish Premier League match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 9 February 2013.

On 12 September 2014, Fraser joined Scottish Championship club Cowdenbeath on loan. He was released by Celtic in January 2015.

Ross County
Fraser immediately signed for Ross County. He made his debut for the Highland side on 24 January 2015, in a 1–0 defeat at home to Celtic. On 17 March 2015, Fraser signed a new contract to keep him at Ross County until 2017. A year later he signed a further two-year extension, keeping him under contract until summer 2019.

In June 2018, after Andrew Davies left the club, Fraser became the new captain; he went on to lift the Scottish Championship and Scottish Challenge Cup as Ross County were promoted back to the Scottish Premiership after being relegated a year earlier.

On 5 June 2020 Fraser rejected a new contract at Ross County and left the club after 5 and a half years and making 195 appearances for the club.
