Martin Biron (born August 15, 1977 in Lac-St-Charles, Quebec, Canada) is a French Canadian professional hockey goaltender.

Biron currently plays for the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres. He was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the first round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, 16th overall. He's the brother of Mathieu Biron, who plays for the Washington Capitals.

Biron, along with Rob Ray and Dominik Hasek, was one of the three Sabres who, in three consecutive years, the NHL made a specific rule against. The Biron rule was in regards to which number players could wear on their jerseys, the league limiting it to whole numbers between 1 and 98. Biron was the only NHL player affected as only he wore "00."

On June 26th, 2006, Biron requested a trade from the Sabres in an effort to get more playing time. Biron signed a deal with the Sabres on July 13, 2006.
