John Mark Tschogl (born April 25, 1950) is a retired American professional basketball athlete who participated in three NBA seasons, representing the Atlanta Hawks from 1972 to 1974 and the Philadelphia 76ers during the 1974–75 season. Although selected in the fourth round of the 1972 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors, he was released prior to the start of that season. Playing primarily as a small forward, Tschogl competed collegiately at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
During his high school years at Hilltop High School in Chula Vista, California, he led the Metro League in scoring as a junior and earned MVP honors in both his junior and senior campaigns. He garnered more than 45 scholarship offers before ultimately choosing UCSB, where he was a starter for three seasons.
Following his release by the Warriors after preseason in 1972, Tschogl took up work as a house painter while continuing to play amateur basketball in San Diego. In February 1973, he signed with the Atlanta Hawks as a free agent. The following August, he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, marking the first player acquisition made by newly appointed general manager Pat Williams.
