Martin Lang (born 26 September 1975) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s and 2000s. He played in Australasia's National Rugby League and his usual position was at prop. During his career he played for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and the Penrith Panthers as well as representing for the Queensland Maroons in State of Origin. Martin Lang is the son of former Australian international and coach John Lang, under whom he played his entire top-grade career.

Lang was a hard-running prop with a straight, un-swerving run when taking the ball forward. In April, 2002, Lang was knocked unconscious by a high-tackle from Petero Civoniceva. The resulting concussion, his tenth, led to calls for the prop to retire or to change his running style.[1][2][3]

Lang played at prop forward for the Penrith Panthers in their 2003 NRL grand final victory over the Sydney Roosters.
