Martebo is a settlement (socken) in northwestern Gotland, Sweden. The Stenkyrka parish (församling) in 2006 has been expanded to include the settlements of Tingstäde, Martebo and Lummelunda, with a total population of 1,521 as of 2011.
The area is mainly farmed land, some of it on part of a drained mire. This is where the noted Martebo lights can be seen.[3]
