Mark Haines (born April 19, 1946) is the former host of the CNBC show Squawk Box. Haines now appears on Squawk on the Street (which airs from 9-11am ET), which he co-hosts, along with Erin Burnett. Squawk on the Street was expanded from one hour to two on July 19, 2007, when then co-anchor Liz Claman of the highly popular Morning Call abruptly left to co-anchor Fox Business on the Fox Business Network alongside co-anchor David Asman. Haines also does a financial segment prior to the market open each day on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

Haines grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey, and now resides in Monmouth county, New Jersey.[1] He attended Denison University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School and is a member of the New Jersey bar association.

Also, famous for calling the "Haines Bottom" in the down peak of the March 2009 lows (now referenced almost daily on CNBC).
