Brodie Martin (born 6 November 1988) is a professional Australian Rules football player currently playing for the Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League, and the Sturt Football Club in the SANFL.

Martin spent two seasons on the rookie list, after being drafted to the Crows with the 52nd selection in the 2008 Rookie Draft, before being elevated to the primary list before round 16, 2009 as a result of a new rule allowing one free upgrade per team to offset concessions being made to the new Gold Coast franchise. He was named as an emergency in the game against St Kilda and after two teammates were withdrawn due to illness, he was selected for his first game. He kicked a goal with his first kick in AFL football, and was one of the few shining lights in a dismal defeat. He retained his place in the side for the next week, the Showdown against Port Adelaide, and again played a good role. However, he injured his knee while landing awkwardly after a marking contest, and although he saw out the match, scans later revealed a rupture to his left Anterior Cruciate Ligament, requiring reconstructive knee surgery and a minimum 12 month rehabilitation period.^[1]
