San Martin de Tor (German: St. Martin in Thurn [saŋkt ˈmartɪn ɪn tʊrn]; Italian: San Martino in Badia [sam marˈtiːno im baˈdiːa]) is a comune (municipality) in South Tyrol in northern Italy, located about 45 kilometres (28 mi) northeast of the city of Bolzano.

As of 30 November 2010, it had a population of 1,726 and an area of 76.5 square kilometres (29.5 sq mi).

San Martin is home the Istitut Ladin Micurà de Rü, which is tasked to preserve and promote the Ladin culture and language.

San Martin borders the following municipalities: Badia, Brixen, Corvara, La Val, Lüsen, Mareo, Santa Cristina Gherdëina, Sëlva and Villnöß.

The municipality of San Martin contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Antermëia (Untermoi/Antermoia), Lungiarü (Campill/Longiarù), and Picolin (Pikolein/Piccolino).

The shield is party per cross: the first quarter represents an argent tower with azure roof on sable; the second one is an argent cross pattée on gules, above three vert mountains. The third part of vert and the fourth of sable. The tower is a reference to Tor Castle and resumes the insignia of a noble family; the cross over the mountains recalls that the town was once the Courts.
