The Hamburg Mark refers to two distinct currencies issued in the city of Hamburg until 1875:

• The Hamburg Mark Banco, a bank money and an accounting unit, and
• The Hamburg Mark Courant, an actual coin.

Each mark is divided into 16 schilling, each of 12 pfennig. Three marks were equal to a Reichsthaler, Germany's main unit of currency which the Hamburger Bank (Bank of Hamburg) defined and maintained until 1875.
