George Arthur Martin (26 January 1875 – 2 September 1943) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Essendon Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

A ruckman, Martin was a dual premiership player at Essendon, playing in the inaugural VFL premiership side in 1897 and again in 1901. He was sacked from the club during the 1904 after a disagreement with the board and finished his career with Essendon Association in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).
