John Raymond Martyr (born 25 May 1932) is a former Australian politician. Born in Melbourne, he was a political and economic consultant before entering politics. Originally an organiser and candidate with the Democratic Labor Party, Martyr eventually joined the Liberal Party, moving to Western Australia. In 1975, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Liberal member for Swan, defeating sitting Labor member Adrian Bennett. He held the seat until his defeat by Kim Beazley in 1980. On 11 March 1981, he was appointed to the Australian Senate to fill the casual vacancy opened by the retirement of Allan Rocher. He was defeated, however, in the 1983 election.cite web|last=Carr|first=Adam|title=Australian Election Archive|work=Psephos, Adam Carr's Election Archive|url=http://psephos.adam-carr.net/countries/a/australia|year=2008|accessdate=2008-08-02]
