Marco Kostmann (born 12 April 1966) is a German football goalkeeper and later manager.

He is a son of Gerd Kostmann. He started his youth career in Dynamo Rostock-Mitte, moving to BFC Dynamo in 1981. He was also a youth international for East Germany.[1] Among others, he was a squad member for the 1984 UEFA European Under-18 Championship.

After several years in BFC Dynamo he joined his hometown team FC Hansa Rostock in 1988, but went on to 1. FC Union Berlin one year later. Then, after several years in the DDR-Liga, Kostmann moved to the West and played in the 2. Bundesliga and Bundesliga for 1. FC Saarbrücken. He moved on to Hamburger SV, but did not get any first-team games.[1][2]

Near the end of his playing career he held his first job as a manager, in SC Paderborn 07. He later worked several years for the German Football Association as a youth goalkeeping coach and coordinator in Schleswig-Holstein. From 2007 to 2009 he was goalkeeping coach of the Ivory Coast men's national football team under manager Uli Stielike. He then rejoined Hansa Rostock, this time as goalkeeping coach.[1] He also served as manager of Hansa Rostock before a long stint in Arminia Bielefeld. In April 2022, he was briefly promoted to manager. He was ultimately let go at Arminia Bielefeld in June 2023.[3][4][5]
