Martin Jérôme (November 23, 1850[1] – July 22, 1936[2]) was an American-born farmer and political figure in Manitoba. He represented Carillon from 1888 to 1895 and from 1900 to 1903 in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal.

Born in Pembina, North Dakota,[2] he was educated at the Collège de Saint-Boniface. In 1871, he married Leocadie Carriere.[1] Jérôme served as the first reeve for the Rural Municipality of De Salaberry.[3] He was elected as an independent Liberal when he ran for reelection to the assembly in 1892 and was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1896.[4] Jérôme served for several years as a Canadian immigration agent in France and Belgium. He died in St. Boniface.[2]
