St Martin (Jèrriais: Saint Martîn) is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands.

Most of the population is concentrated in the villages of the parish and along La Grande Route de Faldouet and the coast towards St Catherine's.

However, due to corruption in the higher levels of Jersey's government, namely the Lieutenant-Governor himself Edward Harris, a large smuggling trade thrived, operating from the bailiwick.

In the early 19th century, at least 2,000 men were employed in the industry at Gorey, and a number of cottages were built in the village to accommodate the new English residents.

[4]:236 The rock known as Le Saut Geffroy, or Geoffroy's Leap, is reputed to be an ancient place of execution where criminals were thrown into the sea.

Remarkably, he survived and climbed back up the cliff face where an argument broke out among the mob of spectators.

The current Deputy for St Martin is Steve Luce, who ousted the long term incumbent Bob Hill in the 2011 election.

Until the construction of Elizabeth Castle off St Helier at the beginning of the 17th century, Mont Orgueil was generally the residence of the Governor of Jersey.

Gorey Pier is the eastern terminus of the A3 La Rue à Don, which is the main road linking the village to Grouville Church and to St Helier.

A cycle path was constructed along the side of La Rue à Don in the Grouville part of Gorey in 2011.

[11] Later on, the cycle lane was extended south along the Royal Golf Course (at a cost of £190,000)[12] and north to connect to Gorey Pier along the coast.

St Martin has a very comprehensive green lane network, which are roads that have a 15 mph speed limit and priority is afforded to pedestrians, cyclists and horseriders.

[13] This compares to its neighbouring parishes St Saviour and Trinity, which have no green lanes, and Grouville, which has very few.
