Robert J. Martin (born January 13, 1947) is an American Republican Party politician, who served as a member of the New Jersey State Senate from 1993 to 2008, where he represented the 26th legislative district.
Before entering the Senate, Martin served in the United States Army as a First Lieutenant (1969–1971). Martin served in the New Jersey General Assembly, the lower house of the New Jersey Legislature, from 1985 to 1993, where he served as Minority Whip (1990–1992) and Assistant Majority Leader (1986–1988).
