List of Martian meteorites

For list of rocks on Mars, see List of rocks on Mars.

This is an incomplete list of Martian meteorites i.e. meteorites that have been identified as having originated from Mars.

As of September 2020, 277 meteorites had been classified as Martian, less than half a percent of the 72,000 meteorites that have been classified.[1] On 17 October 2013, NASA reported, based on analysis of argon in the Martian atmosphere by the Mars Curiosity rover, that certain meteorites found on Earth previously only thought to be from Mars, could now be confirmed as from Mars.[2] The list does not include meteorites found on Mars by the various rovers.
