Martin Mattner is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Sydney Swans and Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was traded to Sydney from the Crows in October 2007 in exchange for draft pick number 28.

Prior to joining the Sydney Swans, he was the Adelaide Football Club's leading tackler for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. In the 2006 season, Mattner missed out on just two games due to a calf injury.

He retired midway through the 2013 AFL season, succumbing to his ongoing hip injury. He took up a coaching role with the Sydney Swans as a development coach until the end of the 2015 season. In October 2015, Mattner was announced as the head coach of Sturt.  Coached Sturt to the 2016 and 2017 premiership. Martin Mattner is one of the few players to win a SANFL Premiership as a player, a SANFL Premiership as a coach and an AFL Premiership as a player.
