Mark Jordan (born June 29, 1966), better known by his stage name DJ Pooh, is an American record producer. He is perhaps best known for his production work on Ice Cube's 1993 single "It Was a Good Day", which remains one of the most popular songs in hip-hop. Pooh was also part of the musical group Uncle Jamm's Army, as well as the West Coast production outfit L.A. Posse.

As a recording artist, he signed with Big Beat Records, an imprint of Atlantic Records to release his debut studio album, Bad Newz Travels Fast (1997), which entered the Billboard 200. In other media, Jordan has also co-written the F. Gary Gray film Friday, directed the films The Wash and 3 Strikes, and co-produced the video games Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto Online, and Grand Theft Auto V.
