Martha Irene Randall (born June 12, 1948) is an American former competition swimmer, Olympic medalist, and former world record-holder.
As a 16-year-old, Randall competed in the 1964 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan. She received a bronze medal for her third-place performance in the women's 400-meter individual medley, finishing in 5:24.2. The U.S. women's team swept the 400-meter event with Randall's fellow American teammates, Donna de Varona and Sharon Finneran, who finished first and second.
Randall helped set a new world record time of 4:34.6 in the women's 4×100-meter medley relay as a member of a U.S. team that included Cathy Ferguson, Cynthia Goyette and Kathy Ellis on September 28, 1964. The record was broken twenty days later by another U.S. team at the 1964 Olympics.
