Martin Lewis Perl (born June 24, 1927 in New York) is an American physicist, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1995 for his discovery of the tau lepton. His parents were Jewish emigrants to the US from the Polish area of Russia.

Perl is a 1948 chemical engineering graduate of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute (now known as Polytechnic University) in Brooklyn, and received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1955. He spent his career at the University of Michigan and then at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).

While at Michigan, Perl and Lawrence W. Jones served as co-advisors to Samuel C. C. Ting, who earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1976.

He currently serves on the board of advisors of Scientists and Engineers for America, an organization focused on promoting sound science in American government.

In 2009, Perl received an honorary doctorate from the University of Belgrade.[1]
