Eugène Martin (March 24, 1915 in Suresnes - October 12, 2006) was a racing driver from France. He participated in two Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on May 13, 1950. He scored no championship points.

Martin is better known for his participation in several of the prewar grands prix. He won the first Grand Prix Aix les Bains Circuit du Lac in 1949 with a Jicey-BMW[1] developed by Jean Caillas[2].

He was one of the last surviving drivers from that era until his death at a hospital near his home in Rochelle in 2006. [3]
