Frank Kieffer Martin (November 4, 1938 – August 12, 2012) was a prominent American defense attorney and a former mayor of Columbus, Georgia. Born in Columbus in 1938, Martin was elected as the 64th mayor of the city in 1990, taking over from James Jernigan.

During his tenure as mayor, Martin was instrumental in advocating for a new 1-percent sales tax that was used to fund the construction of a new civic center, public safety building, and recreational facilities.[1] Additionally, Columbus won the bid to host the 1996 Olympic softball competition under Martin's leadership.[2] He served as mayor from 1991 to 1994.[3][1]

He died from complications of pancreatic cancer in 2012 at the age of 73.[1]
