George Alexander Martin (3 May 1869 – 24 February 1961) was a New Zealand cricketer who played a single first-class match for the Otago cricket team during the 1908–09 season.

Martin was born at Napier in the Hawke's Bay region in 1869. He worked as a tailor.[1] His only senior cricket match was against Hawke's Bay in January 1909, one of only six first-class matches played in New Zealand during the 1908–09 season. Batting last in Otago's first innings, he scored five runs in the only innings in which he batted.[2]

Martin died at Dunedin in 1961. He was aged 91.[3]
