Marty Roebuck (born 10 January 1965 in Lithgow, New South Wales) is a former Australian rugby union footballer who represented New South Wales Waratahs and the Australian Wallabies, playing as a fullback.
Educated at St Stanislaus College, Bathurst, Roebuck was also a physiotherapist and played rugby while working when the game was an amateur sport.
A test regular from his debut in 1991 against Wales in the 63-3 annihaltion in which he scored two tries, Roebuck went on to win the 1991 Rugby World Cup with Australia. On the tour to Europe he took the kicking duties from Michael Lynagh who had been Australia's regular kicker since 1984. In 1991 his Waratahs team went through the competition undefeated. His 23rd and final test was against France on 6 November 1993 which the Wallabies won 24-3. Roebuck scored all the points except for Tim Gavin's try. He announced his retirement immediately after the game.
