Mark Warnecke is a swimmer who has competed for West Germany and Germany. He competed at the 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000 Summer Olympic Games.
Warnecke qualified for the West German swimming team at his first Olympics in 1988, before he swam with the reunified German team four years later in Barcelona. He failed to attain a single medal in any of his breaststroke races. Warnecke's major Olympic success happened at his third straight Games in 1996. There, he claimed a bronze in the men's 100 metres breaststroke with a time of 1:01.33, edging out the former world record holder Károly Güttler by 0.16 of a second. Sydney 2000 turned to be a deception for Warnecke as he struggled to reach his peak from Atlanta, failing to advance from the heats of his pet race. On the relay side, he and his German teammates denied the opportunity to secure a podium spot in the men's 4x100 metres medley relay at three straight Games (1988 to 1996).
