Marcos Villasana is a Mexican former professional boxer and former WBC featherweight champion.

Villasana first challenged Azumah Nelson for the WBC featherweight *le, losing a narrow split decision on February 25, 1986. A rematch 18 months later was also unsuccessful, as Nelson won a unanimous decision.

Villasana fought to a draw for the WBA featherweight *le against Antonio Esparragoza on June 23, 1988, with Villasana getting a point deducted for a low blow in the 5th round.

Villasana's very next bout was a third shot at the WBC featherweight *le against champion Jeff Fenech, which resulted in a unanimous decision defeat. Shortly thereafter, Fenech relinquished the *le and moved to the super featherweight division.

Villasana won the vacant WBC featherweight *le June 2, 1990, defeating Paul Hodkinson. He successfully defended the *le three times before losing a unanimous decision rematch to Hodkinson on November 13, 1991.
