Martin Silva (born September 4, 1952) is a Portuguese-born Canadian radio personality and former politician based in Toronto, Ontario.
Silva was the Ontario New Democratic Party's candidate in Parkdale in the 1995 provincial election but was defeated by incumbent Liberal MPP Tony Ruprecht.
He wasn't re-elected in the 1997 municipal election, when he came third after Joe Pantalone and Mario Silva in a newly formed ward.
On February 1, 2006, Toronto City Council appointed Silva to fill the vacancy in Ward 20[1] that was created when Olivia Chow decided to run in the federal riding of Trinity-Spadina.
A condition of the appointment was that he wasn't allowed to run as a candidate in that election.
