Fornham St Martin is a village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England. Located on the northern outskirts of Bury St Edmunds off east and west from the A134, in 2005 its population was 1300.[1] Its parish council is shared with neighbouring Fornham St Genevieve, and is known as Fornham St Martin cum St Genevieve Parish Council. Fornham St Martin is one of a trio of contiguous villages by the River Lark. The other villages are Fornham St Genevieve and Fornham All Saints.

Near the current Lark Valley Drive, a smock windmill used to stand. It collapsed in 1927.[citation needed]

The village has one public house, the Woolpack, but no shops. Its school closed in the early 1950s.[citation needed]
