The name Martin has been used for four tropical cyclones worldwide: For one storm in the Atlantic Ocean, two in the South Pacific Ocean and for one extratropical European windstorm.
In the Atlantic:
- Hurricane Martin (2022) – short-lived Category 1 hurricane that churned in the open North Atlantic
