Des Martin (2 August 1913 – 7 December 1985) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Martin, who was born in Sale, played at the Frankston Bombers before coming to South Melbourne. He was already 27 when he made his debut in the 1941 VFL season. A rover, he played nine games that year and made his next appearance in round 11 of the 1942 season, then crossed over to Richmond mid-season. He played as a reserve for Richmond in the 1942 VFL Grand Final, which they lost to Essendon. It was his final league appearance, as he would join Berrigan as captain-coach when he returned from war service.
