Kevin Jeffrey Martin (born December 14, 1966) is a lobbyist for Facebook[1] and former member and Chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), an independent agency of the United States government.

In January 2009, Martin announced that he would step down from the FCC and join the Aspen Institute, as a senior fellow in the think tank's Communications and Society Program.

[3] He since became a partner with the law firm Squire Patton Boggs LLP, and was hired as Facebook's head of U.S. Public Policy.

Before joining Bush-Cheney 2000, Martin served as legal advisor to FCC Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth, in the Office of the Independent Counsel, and as an associate of Wiley Rein LLP.

A specific example given was that Martin ordered FCC staff to reverse a study finding which initially stated "a la carte" cable programming would not benefit consumers.

The largest TRS provider, Sorenson Communications, Inc., handled roughly 80% of these services, thus stood to gain the most from this lack of oversight.

[10] Beginning in September 2009, Martin began serving on the Board of Directors of the telecommunications hardware company, Xtera Communications.

[11] In 2013, Martin was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage during the Hollingsworth v. Perry case.
