Eugène Martin was a French racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1950 season. He made two World Championship starts for Talbot-Lago, both without reaching the points. His sole season in the sport saw him finish as far back as 23rd place in the races he contested.[1]

Martin's rating of 4,245 places him in the professional band; this indicates a driver capable of competing at the national championship level or the sharper end of a strong feeder series, though his brief Formula 1 tenure gives limited scope to assess his true standing. His team, Talbot-Lago, was competitive enough to field drivers of genuine calibre, most notably José Froilán González, a much stronger professional, yet Martin did not score points during his time with the outfit. His racing career was essentially complete by the end of 1950, after which he appears not to have pursued further competitive motorsport.[2]
