Markus Koch (born February 13, 1963) is a German-born former American football defensive lineman in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins team which won a Super Bowl (1988). He played high school football at the Eastwood Collegiate Institute in Kitchener, Ontario and played college football at Boise State University.

Koch served as Vice President of the Seattle chapter of the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA).^[1]

Having finished his career before the internet age, Koch is overlooked by the media, which call Sebastian Vollmer of the Patriots the first German to be drafted (2nd, 2009) by the NFL and to win a Super Bowl.
