The Gaudin-Martin, later Martin-Dalzell Baronetcy, of Castleknock and Merrion Square, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 29 May 1885 for Richard Martin, a British diplomat and colonial administrator. Prior to the creation of the letters patent for his baronetcy, he had assumed the additional surname of Gaudin, which was that of his wife. The present baronet replaced that with one of his wife's surnames, Dalzell, being the name of his late father in law, the Earl of Carnwath. As of 2012 the current baronet lives in Dunedin, New Zealand but has not yet registered his succession to the baronetcy, so has yet to appear on the Official Roll of the Baronetage.

The current family surname is pronounced "Martin – Dee-el".
