Gerald Durani Martineau (1897 – 29 May 1976) was a prolific English cricket writer.
He was born in Lahore and educated at Charterhouse School and Royal Military College, Sandhurst.
John Arlott wrote that Martineau's "sympathy with his subject is sufficiently clear-headed to enable him to write of the early cricketers without sentimentality but with an understanding rarely equalled since Nyren".
[2] His Wisden obituary opines that his books "were not works of much original research" but, "pleasantly written, they were ideally calculated to arouse the interest of the novice and spur him on to try for himself the masterpieces".
[2] Martineau died at Lyme Regis in 1976 at the age of 79 after a long illness.
