Martin Neil Huxley (1944 — ) is a British mathematician, working in the field of analytic number theory.

He was awarded a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1970, the year after his supervisor Harold Davenport had died. He is a professor at Cardiff University.

Huxley proved a result on gaps between prime numbers,^[1] namely that if p_n denotes the n-th prime number and if θ > 7/12, then

$p_{n+1} - p_n < p_n^\theta,$

for all sufficiently large n.

He has an Erdős number of 2 and an Einstein number of 3.
