Ġebel San Martin is a housing estate at Żejtun. The word "ġebel" in Maltese means a hill or stones. The name of this estate may originate from the stones that were found there.
Before the building of the housing estate in the 1980s, only Buleben il-Kbir Alley existed. Today, Ġebel San Martin is the most modern area of Żejtun. Here are found two gardens, Ġebel San Martin Garden and St. Clement Garden. In Ġebel San Martin Garden (referred to by the residents as "il-Ġibjun") there is a playing field and a 5-a-side football ground.
In recent years, a church dedicated to St. Martin was built at Ġebel San Martin.
