Evelyn George Martin, OBE (6 May 1875 - 8 September 1964) was an English cricketer, who played first-class cricket in the early years of the 20th century. Most of his appearances came for Oxford University, but he also played three games for Worcestershire and one for H. D. G. Leveson-Gower's XI.
Francis's debut came in May 1903, for Oxford against Gentlemen of England at The Parks; he claimed five wickets in the match, including that of Bernard Bosanquet. In a total of ten first-class games that season he took 37 wickets at 19.18, including two for his first and only County Championship match, for Worcestershire against Somerset. (He went wicketless against the Philadelphians on his other appearance for the county that year.)
In the next two seasons he played 15 first-class games, all for Oxford, and picked up 29 and 32 wickets respectively. This period included his best innings return: 7-81 against Kent at Oxford's Christ Church ground in late May 1905. He appeared twice more in 1906, scoring 56 from number 11 in the University Match at Lord's (adding 90 for the last wicket with Wilfred Curwen), and in 1907 played two final matches, both "against" Oxford: once for Worcestershire, and once for H. D. G. Leveson-Gower's XI.
Martin served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, reaching the rank of commander. He was born in Upton-on-Severn, Worcestershire, and died from heart failure in Hadleigh, Suffolk at the age of 64. [Obituary. "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack" 1946.]
