Martin Suji (born June 2, 1971 in Nairobi) is a Kenyan cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

Suji has been part of the Kenyan team for more than a decade, having first appeared for them in 1990, and having played in the 1996, 1999 and 2003 Cricket World Cups. His brother is fellow player Tony. He participated in Kenya's Super Six win against Zimbabwe in 2003 and was offered the man of the match award.

Suji also took part in the 1990, 1994 and 1997 ICC Trophy competitions.

Probably one of the greatest Cricketers to ever come out of the African continent, he is a marvellous sportsman and is certainly the best in his family. Martin has helped brother and fellow national cricketer Tony Suji in his battle with drugs and alcohol, even funding him to start a rehabilitation program in July of 2006. Subsequently Tony has been given a re-birth into the top side for Kenya, where his performances have been relatively inadequate, certainly in comparison with wonder-kid Martin
