Martynas Goštautas (Polish: Marcin Janowicz Gas(z)tołd or Marcin Gasztołdowicz) (1428-1483) - was a nobleman from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania of Goštautai family. He has been the Grand Marshal of Lithuania, Voivode of Navahrudak (1464-1471), first Voivode of Kiev (1471-1475) and Voivode of Trakai (1480-1483).[1] He served to King Casimir Jagiellon, and was a founder of Tykocin monastery and Dominican monastery and church in Trakai.

Residents of Kiev has been resented by the appointment of a Roman Catholic person as voivode and refused to let him in.[2] In exchange, the Kiev land aquired the status of a voivodeship, coequal to that of Trakai and Vilnius and the subsequent voivodes have been Orthodox nobles.

Martynas was a son of Jonas Goštautas, carrying his first name as a patronymic, and father of Albrecht Goštautas.
