Martin Robert Bridson FRS (born 22 October 1964) is a Manx mathematician.

[5] He was educated at St Ninian's High School, Douglas, then Hertford College, Oxford, and Cornell University,[2] receiving a Master of Arts degree from Oxford in 1986, and a Master of Science degree in 1988 followed by a PhD in 1991 from Cornell.

[6][1] His PhD thesis was supervised by Karen Vogtmann,[1] and was entitled Geodesics and Curvature in Metric Simplicial Complexes.

[7] In 2016, Bridson became only the second Manxman to ever be elected to the Royal Society, after Edward Forbes.

[8] With André Haefliger, he won the 2020 Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition for the highly influential book Metric Spaces of Non-positive Curvature, published by Springer-Verlag in 1999.
