Mark Rutte (born The Hague, February 14, 1967) is a Dutch People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) politician and State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science in the second Balkenende cabinet.

He started his career in the VVD as the national chair of it's youth organisation JOVD from 1988 until 1991, and a member of the VVD party executive from 1993 until 1997.

Rutte obtained a degree in history from Leiden University in 1992, after which he went to work for Unilever.

In the first Balkenende cabinet Rutte was appointed State Secretary for Social Affairs and Employment, a function he continued in the second Balkenende cabinet until June 17, 2004, when he became State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science. Since the resignation of Jozias van Aartsen after the VVD loss in the 2006 Dutch municipal election he is speculated to become the next political leader of the VVD.
