Marcus Houston (born May 27, 1981 in Denver, Colorado) is a former American football player. He was a highly touted running back for the University of Colorado at Boulder in the early 2000s.

Coming out of Denver's Thomas Jefferson High in 2000, Houston was one of the most sought-after football prospects in the United States. He chose to attend Colorado to play for Gary Barnett. However, Houston was never able to live up to the expectations, and was mostly criticized: CU running backs coach Eric Bieniemy caused a national stir in 2001 when he called Houston “Markeesha.”

In 2003, Houston chose to transfer to Colorado State University.
