Multiple? I only know of one: 

http://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/

It can be installed through Melpa.

There's also markdown-preview-mode, which is essentially an add-on 
for markdown-mode, not a competitor, and there's 
markdown-mode+.el, which is also an add-on with some rudimentary 
Pandoc support, but given that its last commit is four years old 
and Pandoc has evolved quite a bit since then, I wouldn't expect 
too much from it.

If you do use Pandoc, you may want to take a look at pandoc-mode, 
but caveat emptor, as it's a package maintained by yours truly:
