Martin Stokken (16 January 1923 – 25 March 1984) was a Norwegian cross-country skier who competed at the 1948 and 1952 Summer and 1952 and 1956 Winter Olympics.

In his teens Stokken worked as a shepherd, and earned enough money to buy a pair of decent skis for his training.

He returned to Norway in 1945, and in 1946 won the national title and placed eighth in 10,000 m running at the 1946 European Championships.

[2] In the late 1940s Stokken trained in cross-country skiing merely to stay fit in winters, but since 1951 he began competing and was included into the national team.

In retirement he continued working as police officer in Trondheim Municipality (he held that position from 1950 to 1980) and eventually became a skiing and biathlon coach.
