John Martin-Dye (born 21 May 1940) is a retired British swimmer who won a silver medal in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay at the 1962 European Aquatics Championships. He competed in four freestyle events at the 1960 and 1964 Summer Olympics; his best achievements were fourth place in the 4 × 200 m relay in 1960 and seventh place in the 4 × 100 m relay in 1964. The fourth place in 1960 was good enough for a new European record.
He was born in 1940 in Willesden, North West London, and started swimming in 1948 at a club in Shepherd's Bush. He was not only a swimmer, but also competed for Great Britain in water polo. Around 1966 he moved to Watford where he coaches the local water polo team. His youngest son Graham is also a swimmer and water polo player; he competed in Australia, but in 2012 was a captain of the Watford polo team.
