Martin Leslie McGrath (born 23 February 1984) is an indigenous former Australian rules football player who played in the AFL in 2003 for the Richmond Football Club. He is the cousin of footballers Ashley, Toby and Cory McGrath. [1]

He kicked five goals in his debut match in 2003, but only kicked one more in his career before he was delisted at the end of the season. [2] He remained in Victoria and has played for Templestowe in the Eastern Football League and Lalor in the Diamond Valley Football League. [3]

In July 2020, McGrath was charged with causing bodily harm after allegedly throwing a brick at a teenager riding a motorcycle. He escaped from custody after facing Perth Magistrates Court in August, but turned himself in to police the next day. [4]
