Barbarigo was elected as Doge of Venice in September 1485 to succeed Doge Giovanni Mocenigo, who was possibly poisoned. Marco died in August 1486, less than a year after becoming Doge, probably in a dispute between nobles. He was succeeded as Doge by Agostino Barbarigo, his brother.

His dogaressa was Lucia Ruzzini (d. 1496), described as a hypochondriac but talented beauty. His brother was Agostino Barbarigo. The two are the namesakes of the Master of the Barbarigo Reliefs, who was responsible for the creation of their tomb.

He appears in the video game Assassin's Creed II as a villain, and one of the main character's assassination targets. Barbarigo is depicted as being a puppet of the Knights Templar Grand Master Rodrigo Borgia, and his ally, the Council of Ten member Carlo Grimaldi, who kills Doge Giovanni Mocenigo in order to allow Barbarigo to take over Venice for the Templars. He was killed while holding a speech on a boat during Carnevale by a member of the rival Assassin Order, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, with a hidden gun.
