Peter James Martin (24 July 1875 – 25 March 1918) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood during the early years of the Victorian Football League (VFL), and North Melbourne in the VFA.
Martin shared his league debut with future club great Ted Rowell and played 14 games that season, including the 1901 VFL Grand Final loss to Essendon where he was a wingman. He made just one further appearance with Collingwood, in 1902, before finishing his career at North Melbourne in the Victorian Football Association.
A Private with the 6th Battalion of the First A.I.F. during World War I, Martin was badly injured in fighting at Pozières, France in December 1916. He died of his wounds, caused by a bullet to the head, over a year later, back home at the Caulfield Military Hospital.
