Martyn Giles (born 10 April 1983 in Cardiff) is a Welsh footballer who is currently unattached. He plays in the left-back and centre-back positions, and his most recent club was Hereford United.

He was a trainee at Cardiff City for three seasons, making his debut in March 2001 againsy Hull City as a substitute for Matt Brazier, and had brief spells at Barry Town and Port Talbot Town before joining Morecambe in November 2003. However he did not play a first team match for the Shrimpers and left soon after. He then joined Carmarthen Town where he was a first team regular. In two seasons he has made over 70 appearances and scored 4 goals in the Welsh Premier League.

On 27 July 2006 he signed for Hereford United. He was a first team regular in the Bulls defence, and was named Fan's Player of the Month for September. However his season was effectively over by the end of October when he suffered two long-term injuries, initially suffering dizziness from a head injury. Once he had recovered he then sustained a back injury which ensured he did not play again in the 2006-07 season, and he was released at the end of the season.

He has played for Wales at U17, U19 and semi-professional levels.
