Martin is an extinct town in Kittitas County, in the U.S. state of Washington. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]

A post office called Martin was established in 1892, and remained in operation until 1902.[2] The community was named for the fact an American marten was killed near the original town site.[3]
