Tony Martin (born 10 July 1978, Gladstone, Queensland) is an Australian professional rugby league player and plays for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, having signed from New Zealand Warriors on 31 July 2007.

Martin plays in the Centres, but can also operate on the wing. He was also a consistent goal kicker.

In 1999 he scored a vital try in Melbourne's victorious NRL Grand Final appearance.

Martin is famous for sporting his trademark scrum cap.

Tony Martin is eligible for the Queensland Maroons but a glut of fine centres have seen the tenacious and safe defender lose out on representative football.[citation needed]
