Brian Martin (born 24 February 1963 in Bellshill) is a former Scottish footballer perhaps best known for his seven year spell at Motherwell.

Martin began his career in the Scottish lower leagues with Albion Rovers and Stenhousemuir before joining Falkirk in 1985. He went on to play for Hamilton Academical and St. Mirren before being signed by Motherwell in 1991 for £175,000.
