Mark Warnow (1900 - October 17, 1949) was a noted violinst and orchestra conductor. He was the older brother of composer/bandleader Raymond Scott (b. Harry Warnow), and is credited with steering his younger (and more famous) brother into a career in music.

Born in Russia, Warnow enjoyed a lengthy and versatile career with the CBS radio network. He was music director for the network in the early 1930s, and hired brother Harry as a keyboardist in 1931. Warnow conducted the orchestra on the long-running CBS radio program Your Hit Parade from 1939 to his death in 1949. He also produced a Broadway musical-comedy, What's Up, in 1943, and appeared as himself in the 1938 motion picture Paramount Headliner: The Star Reporter. In the 1940s, he conducted and arranged for Frank Sinatra while the singer was signed to Columbia Records (then owned by the CBS network). He was also a composer and recording artist. He died in New York.
