Wayne Stuart Martin (born 23 December 1955) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played one first-class and two List A matches between the 1976–77 and 1978–79 seasons.[1]
Martin was born at Mosgiel in Otago in 1955.[2] Described as a "brisk medium pace" bowler,[3] he played club cricket for Taieri[4] and age-group and B team cricket for the Otago cricket team from the 1975–76 season.[5] He made his senior cricket debut playing for the New Zealand under-23 national side against Auckland in a December 1976 first-class match. Opening the bowling, he took four wickets in Auckland's first innings and made scores of 30 and three runs in the only first-class match of his career, an injury meaning that he was unable to bowl or field in Auckland's second innings.[6][5]
Later in the season Martin made his representative debut for Otago, scoring 15 not out and taking one wicket in a List A match against Canterbury at Carisbrook in March 1977. His only other senior appearance for the side saw him take two wickets and score seven runs in another one-day match against the same side in November 1978.[5]
