Martin Storey (born 28 September 1964) is an Irish former hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Wexford senior team.
Regarded as one of the greatest Wexford players of all-time, Storey made his first appearance for the team during the 1986 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement before the 2001 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, two Leinster medals and three All-Star award.
At club level Storey was a five-time county club championship medalist with Oulart-the Ballagh.
In retirement from playing Storey has become involved in team management and coaching. After serving as a selector at club level, he subsequently served as trainer of the Wexford senior camogie team and manager of the Wexford minor hurling team.
Storey's daughter, Ciara, is also an All-Ireland medalist with Wexford.
Storey played his club hurling with Oulart-the Ballagh and enjoyed much success in a career that spanned three decades.
In 1994 Oulart-the Ballagh made the big breakthrough in the championship and Storey was in the forward line as the club reached the decider. St. Martin's provided the opposition on that occasion, however, a narrow 1-14 to 0-16 victory gave Storey his first championship medal.
