Nicholas Gordon (Nick) Martin (born 14 February 1950) is a leading behavior geneticist who has published over 1000 peer-reviewed articles on topics as diverse as the heritability of religion and intelligence to medical disorders such as endometriosis. This work has had a broad impact, reflected in the fact that Martin is among the most cited medical scientists in the Southern Hemisphere, with a number of citation classics including "Genes, culture and personality: An empirical approach" that he co-authored with Lindon Eaves and Hans Eysenck (cited over 600 times), "Analysis of the p16 gene (CDKN2) as a candidate for the chromosome 9p melanoma susceptibility locus" (Nature; cited over 460 times), and "Genetic and environmental contributions to alcohol dependence risk in a national twin sample" (cited over 400 times).
