Martin Tritschler (October 22, 1814 – January 6, 1894) was a manufacturer and retailer of clocks who arrived in Mexico in 1833 from Germany, and was thus part of the first generation of non-Spanish immigrants after independence.

Tritschler enlisted in the ranks of the National Guard within the Brigade Arteaga which was the contribution from Puebla to resist the US military, which by that time had taken the port of Veracruz and were marching towards Mexico City.

The increasing number of Germans leaving the ranks of Winfield Scott was attributed largely to Tritschler; these defectors would later join the Irish and others in the Saint Patrick's Battalion.

[2] Martin Tritschler married Rosa María Córdova y Puig at the Hacienda de Santa Ana in Chalchicomula on June 5, 1867.
