Martin Fenin (Czech pronunciation: [ˈmarcɪn ˈfɛɲɪn]; 16 April 1987) is a former Czech football striker. He is currently working as a scout at the German club 1. FC Magdeburg. He has represented the Czech Republic and formerly played for the youth teams of the Czech Republic from the under-16 level.

Fenin started playing professional football for FK Teplice. In 2007 he won the Talent of the Year award at the Czech Footballer of the Year awards. Following his performance at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada, many large clubs expressed interest in him. Juventus was one of the teams in the scramble to sign the Czech forward from his home club. The deal looked to be sealed but Fenin had a change of heart after claiming he would not be happy as Juventus would loan him out to Udinese Calcio or Genoa CFC for a season. He then swiftly agreed to a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt worth €3.5 million, where he got to a good start, scoring a hat-trick in his first match. In the last day of transfer window 31 August 2011, he moved to Energie Cottbus.

Since the summer break in 2016, he has been in touch with the Czech First League team FC Zbrojovka Brno. He went through a three-month fitness programme. On 3 November 2016, he started his trial there, with the goal to incorporate into U-21 squad in the rest of the autumn and to gain a place in preparing with the first team in the winter break.

Fenin played for several different youth national teams of the Czech Republic having the most starts for the under-19 team. Fenin scored three goals for the Czechs in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada, including one in the final against Argentina. After the tournament he won 16th place in a poll for best under-21 player. On 22 August 2007 Fenin made his international debut for the national team against Austria. As of 2008, Fenin was a part of the Czech national team and was nominated for the UEFA Euro 2008, but did not play in the tournament.
