Charles Martin (1884–1934) was a French illustrator whose artistry left a lasting mark on the Art Deco era.

He had a passion for creating elegant and modern designs, which often graced the pages of magazines like Gazette du Bon Ton and Vogue, showcasing his refined pochoir technique. Beyond fashion illustration, Martin found joy in collaborating on projects like Sports et divertissements (1923) with Erik Satie, as well as designing enchanting sets and costumes for theater productions. His unique and decorative style continues to be cherished as a hallmark of early 20th-century French art and design.
