Victor Martin (Blaton, Belgium 19 January 1912 – Féternes, France, November 1989) was a Belgian academic sociologist. He was known for his involvement with the Belgian Resistance during World War II.

Using academic networks established before the war, Martin agreed to undertake a spying mission in Nazi Germany on behalf of the Front de l'Indépendance group to find reliable information on the fate of Belgian Jews deported to Eastern Europe. Martin reported his findings about the mass extermination of Jews and was one of the first to provide detailed information on the functioning of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
