François Martin (1634– octobre 1706) was the first Governor General of Pondicherry. In 1673, Sher Khan Lodi, the governor of Valokondapuranam under the sultan of Bijapur granted sieur Bellanger de l'Espinay a site for a settlement. A shrewd and able administrator, François Martin, former director of the Masulipatnam lodge, developed Pondicherry, the future capital of French India in 1674 into a thriving port. He is known as the Father of Puducherry.
