Frank Martin (27 December 1914 – 19 January 2004) was a British sculptor.
He was head of the sculpture department of Saint Martin's School of Art from 1952 to 1979.
He brought young and forward-thinking sculptors into the department to teach, among them Anthony Caro, Robert Clatworthy, Elizabeth Frink and Eduardo Paolozzi.
They and those round them came to be known as the New Generation of British sculptors.
In the 1960s and 1970s the sculpture department at Saint Martin's was, in the words of Tim Scott: "the most famous in the art world".
