Martin I is an anthropomorphic mouse, appearing in the Redwall series by Brian Jacques.

Known as "Martin the Warrior" throughout the Redwall series, Martin, a woodland mouse, is the son of Luke the Warrior and his mate Sayna. Luke is the kindly leader of an idyllic tribe of mice. Their settlement is sacked by a wicked stoat pirate named Vilu Daskar, and Sayna is killed. Luke vows revenge against the corsair captain and sets out after him, refusing Martin's wishes to join him, but leaving his sword in his son's possession. Sometime later, Martin is captured by another tyrannical stoat called Badrang and becomes one of his horde of slaves. The young mouse is rebellious and insolent, however, and after spending some time as a slave, he manages to escape his captors. The son of Luke strikes out into the wilderness to rally help from other woodland creatures to come back with him to help liberate the rest of the slaves. He meets Laterose of Noonvale (normally called Rose), a mousemaiden with whom he develops a romantic relationship. She saves him from death numerous times, and shows that she is as much of a warrior as Martin. In the eventual assault on Badrang's fort, called Marshank, many of Martin's companions perish, including Rose, who is killed when Badrang throws her against a wall (in the TV series she dies when Badrang stabs her). However, Marshank is ultimately taken and Badrang slain by Martin himself, who reclaims his father's sword from the tyrant. The young mouse is devastated by the deaths of his friends, especially Rose, and he never takes on another love interest.

An unknown amount of time later, a still-young Martin the Warrior is making his way through the country called Mossflower, when he is beset upon and captured by soldiers of the land's ruling monarch, a wildcat named Verdauga. He is brought to the castle Kotir, before the king and his children, the princess Tsarmina and prince Gingivere. The cruel Tsarmina takes Martin's sword and breaks it, much to the warrior's dismay, after which Martin is thrown into the castle dungeons. Not long afterward, Tsarmina poisons and kills her lord father Verdauga, and frames her gentle brother for the regicide, thus taking the throne for herself. During the winter spent in the castle dungeon, Martin meets a fellow prisoner, Gonff the Mousethief, with whom he eventually escapes the prison with the help of a local rebel group. Martin and Gonff become inseparable companions, and together with new friends Dinny the mole and Log-a-Log Bigclub of the GUOSIM shrews, they set out on a quest to ultimately wrest Mossflower from Queen Tsarmina's ugly reign.
