Martin Colin Snedden (b. 23 November 1958) played 25 Tests, between 1981 and 1990, and 93 one-day internationals, between 1980 and 1990, for New Zealand. He was a part of New Zealand's seam attack, alongside Richard Hadlee and Ewen Chatfield, throughout it's golden age, the 1980's and was the long-time holder of the most expensive one day international bowling figures, 12-1-105-2 (this record was surpassed by Mick Lewis in March 2006). Snedden was generally a lower order batsman though he once scored 64 opening the innings in an one day international. He also represented Auckland in New Zealand state cricket.

Snedden, a lawyer by profession, is currently more well known as the Chief Executive Officer of New Zealand Cricket also known as the Black Caps.

His uncle, Colin Snedden, played one Test for New Zealand; his father, Warwick Snedden, and grandfather, Nessie Snedden, both also played first-class cricket.
