Samuel Elmo Martin (born 1924) is a former professor of Far Eastern Languages at Yale University and an author of books on the Korean and Japanese languages. He also developed the Yale romanization system for transliterating Korean, which is extensively used by linguists.
His Reference Grammar of Korean is a detailed description of 20th century Korean that also shows the Middle Korean origin of morphemes, making it a valuable tool for English-speaking scholars interested in either modern or Middle Korean.
