Dietrich IX, Count of Mark (1374 – 1398) was the Count of Mark from 1393 until 1398.
Dietrich was the second son of Count Adolf III of the Marck
and Margaret of Julich.
His father had acquired the County of Cleves in 1368 and reserved this title for his eldest son Adolf
to succeed him after his death.
