Charles Martin (6 August 1836 – 28 March 1878) was an English first-class cricketer.
Martin was born in the New Forest in August 1936 at Breamore, Hampshire. A club cricketer for East Hants Cricket Club,[1] Martin made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1869, with him playing in the return fixture at Southampton. He made two further first-class appearances for Hampshire in 1870, both against Lancashire, in addition to playing for a Left-Handed team in the Left-Handed v Right-Handed fixture at Lord's in that same year.[2] His four first-class matches for Hampshire saw him take 9 wickets with his left-arm roundarm fast bowling, at an average of 18.66 and with best figures of 3 for 38.[3] In later life, Martin was a publican. He was the landlord of the Exmouth Arms public house in Southsea,[4] and latterly was the landlord of the Coach and Horses in Hilsea. It was there that he died in March 1878.[5]
