Jean-Louis Martin (born 17 July 1948) is a French former international rugby union player.[1]
A native of Béziers, Martin took up rugby union aged 15 and aside from two seasons at RC Toulon would spend his entire career at his hometown club, winning eight championship titles with AS Béziers. He had a brief international career as a France prop in the early 1970s when he gained four caps, debuting against Wallabies at Colombes.[2]
Martin had a stint as coach of AS Béziers while still a player, succeeding Raoul Barrière in the 1978–79 season, as a co–coach with teammate Olivier Saïsset. He later served as president of AS Béziers in 1987–88.[3]
