Martin Koeman (born 26 July 1938, Purmerend, Noord-Holland) is a former Dutch footballer.

Koeman played professional football with KFC of Koog aan de Zaan from 1955–60, Blauw-Wit Amsterdam from 1960–63, GVAV/Groningen[2] from 1963–73 and SC Heerenveen until his retirement. He was selected regularly for the Netherlands national football team but only played one match, against Austria on 12 April 1964.[1] Despite his respectable career, he is best known for being the father of Erwin and Ronald Koeman, who followed in their father's footsteps as footballers, with both of his sons playing for Groningen and the Dutch national team.
