Julie Martin (née Robinson) was a character on the Australian soap opera Neighbours. She first appeared in 1985, during which time she worked at the local bank. She later had an affair with the bank manager Philip Martin, who was married at the time and had two children, Debbie and Michael. At the end of 1985 they left Erinsborough and married, and Julie then had a daughter, Hannah, off-screen.

In 1992 Julie returned to Erinsborough with her family and her life proved quite eventful. After a murder attempt on her by Michael, she found out that Jim Robinson was not her real father; she was in fact a result of a rape. Then Jim died of a heart attack and Julie and Rosemary Daniels discovered his body on the kitchen floor of his home.

Then Julie's marriage to Philip slowly began crumbling. In 1994, she was found at the foot of the stairs at a murder mystery weekend, after falling from a tower. Julie subsequently died in hospital. There was some doubt as to whether she had been pushed from the tower by Philip; daughter Debbie eventually overcame a mental block to recall that Julie had accidentally fallen from the tower during a drunken rage.

The character was played by Vikki Blanche in 1985 and Julie Mullins from 1992 until 1994.
