Anthony Marten (c. 1542 – August 1597) was an English courtier and author during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
He was the son of David Marten (senior clerk to the surveyor of the king's works) and his wife Jane Cooke.
Anthony Marten was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, but there is no evidence that he graduated.
From July 1579 to March 1586 he was bailiff of Ledbury, Herefordshire, and in August 1588 the Queen awarded him a lease for a house in Richmond.
[1] He wrote two tracts around the time of the Spanish Armada, portraying England as the new Israel, with Philip II of Spain as the new Sennacherib.
