Marcos dos Santos Assunção (born 25 July 1976) is a Brazilian former professional footballer. A central midfielder, he was renowned as a world-class free kick specialist.

Assunção played for clubs in four countries; he is best known for his spells with Roma in Italy and Real Betis in Spain.

At international level, he represented Brazil on 11 occasions between 1998 and 2000, scoring a single goal; he was a member of the team that finished third at the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Assunção made 11 appearances for the Brazil national team during two years. He made his debut against El Salvador, and scored his only international goal against Russia on 18 November 1998 in a 5–1 friendly win.

Assunção was dropped from the Seleção after a poor performance during a 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Chile – a 0–3 away loss – and was never called up since.

Both Marcos Senna, who spent most of his career at Villarreal CF, even representing the Spain national team, and Márcio Senna, are Assunção's cousins.
