Martin Girvan (born 17 April 1960) is a British former athlete who specialised in the hammer throw.

Girvan had a personal best throw of 77.54m, set in Wolverhampton 1984, breaking both the British and Commonwealth records.

[3] In addition to his Olympic appearance he also won silver medals at the 1982 and 1986 Commonwealth Games.

Girvan claimed that earlier in the decade, in order to test suspicions he had, he asked British athletics official Andy Norman prior to testing at a meet in Crystal Palace that his results would be "embarrassing", which he says prompted Norman to organise for his urine sample to be switched with another.

[5][6] In another allegation, Girvan stated that leading hammer thrower Yuriy Sedykh once advised him on what type of drugs to take, during a coaching seminar.
