The Martineau Family was a political dynasty from Birmingham, England.

Members included five generations, father to son, of Birmingham (Lord) Mayors:

  • Robert Martineau (1798-1870), Mayor of Birmingham, 1846-7
  • Thomas Martineau (1828-1893), Mayor of Birmingham, 1884-85
  • Ernest Martineau (1861-1652), Lord Mayor of Birmingham, 1912-1914
  • Wilfred Martineau (1889-1964), Lord Mayor of Birmingham, 1940-41
  • Denis Martineau (1920-1999), Lord Mayor of Birmingham, 1986-87

A blue plaque, erected in 2008 by the Birmingham Civic Society, in Birmingham Council House commemorates all five.
