Marco Tilio (born 23 August 2001) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a winger for Australian club Melbourne City, on loan from the Scottish club Celtic, and the Australia national team.

Tilio was born on 23 August 2001 in Hurstville, a suburb in Southern Sydney, to Michael and Melina Tilio. Shortly after birth, he was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, which required a month-long hospital stay before his discharge. At the age of six weeks, he returned to the hospital due to the after-effects of hydrocephalus, where he received ongoing monitoring by neurosurgeons until the age of one.

At the age of six, Tilio began playing club football by joining Enfield Rovers in the junior leagues. During his childhood, Tilio soon moved with Leichhardt Saints, and later joined the youth system at APIA Leichhardt, initially with the juniors, before transitioning to the NPL youth side in 2011. He further progressed to Sydney Olympic before finally earning an opportunity to play for his hometown club, Sydney FC.

Tilio began his international career with the Young Socceroos in 2019, where he was called up to the Australia squad for the 2019 AFF U-18 Youth Championship. At age 17, Tilio played his first international game against the Vietnam U-20s in the 2019 AFF U-18 Youth Championship group stage where he scored a hat trick in the 1st, 34th and 90th minute.

On 22 July 2021, Tilio scored his first goal for the Olyroos in a 2–0 win against Argentina with his second touch after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute.

On 20 November 2022, Tilio was named in Australia's squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup after Martin Boyle was ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
