Martin Fitzmaurice (3 June 1940 – 14 April 2016)[1][2] was an English darts personality. He operated for the game's governing body in the United Kingdom, the British Darts Organisation, from 1985 to 2013, until he resigned and was replaced by Richard Ashdown in April 2013.

Fitzmaurice introduced the players after delivering his catchphrase: "Are you ready? Ladies and Gentlemen... Let's... Play.... Darts". He was affectionately known throughout the darting world as "the Fatman".[3]
