Marquis Devante Teague (born February 28, 1993) is an American professional basketball player who last played for Kolossos Rodou of the Greek Basket League. He was one of the top-rated high school basketball players in the class of 2011.

In July 2010, Teague, along with future Kentucky teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, were a part of the gold medal-winning team in the FIBA U-17 World Championships in Hamburg, Germany.

Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Teague was listed as the No. 1 point guard and the No. 5 player in the nation in 2011. He was a part of the Indiana versus Kentucky All-stars game.

Teague committed to Kentucky on April 22, 2010.

In the first game of the 2011–12 season and his career as a Wildcat, Teague started and scored 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting. One of Teague's best performances of the season came against Portland, a game where he scored 14 points, had a career high of eight assists, and a career high of 4 steals, all while committing no turnovers and shooting 5 of 6 from the free throw line. Against Louisville, Teague scored just 4 points on 1 of 8 shooting, but did dish out 5 assists and played good defense on Louisville point guard Peyton Siva, who shot 2 of 13 from the field. Teague helped Kentucky win their eighth national championship.

In April 2012, Teague declared for the 2012 NBA draft. He was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 29th overall pick.

On December 3, 2013, Teague was assigned to the Iowa Energy; he was recalled the next day. On December 26, 2013, he was reassigned to the Energy. On January 15, 2014, he was recalled.
