Martin Roberts (born 6 June 1986) is a Wales international rugby union footballer who currently plays at scrum-half for the Northampton Saints in the Aviva Premiership.

After playing in a half-back combination with James Hook at Neath College, the pair played together at Neath RFC and then the Ospreys, signing for the Scarlets from the Ospreys on 27 March 2008, after the departure of Dwayne Peel to Sale Sharks. Roberts signed a two-year contract with the Scarlets, and would compete with Sililo Martens, Lee Williams and Gavin Cattle for the number 9 jersey.

Roberts has represented Wales internationally at every level form schools through to full international. In 2007, Roberts was selected for the Wales 7s team. Since joining with the squad, he has made several appearances and has scored seven tries (35 points).

Roberts was selected for the Wales national rugby union team squad for the Autumn internationals series in October 2008, playing his first game on 14 November against Canada.

On 18 January 2010 he was named in the 35 man Wales national Squad for the 2010 Six Nations tournament.^[2]

On 18 March 2011, it was announced that Roberts, along with London Irish fly-half Ryan Lamb, would join Northampton Saints at the end of the 2010–11 season.
