Marcus Martiannius Pulcher was a governor of Britannia Superior, a province of Roman Britain probably some time during the third century AD.

The only evidence of his work is an inscription which was found in 1975, re-used as part of the fourth century riverside defences in London. It states that he repaired the temple of Isis which had collapsed through old age. Peter Salway infers from this that his rule was relatively peaceful as he was able to undertake restoration work in the city.
