Martin Ling (born 15 July 1966) is the current manager of English football side Leyton Orient of League One. In the 2005/2006 league campaign he managed to get Leyton Orient promoted from League 2 into League 1 after a dramatic final day of the season when they secured their automatic promotion place right at the death.
He has been at Orient since 1996, when he joined them as a player from Swindon Town. He was a left-winger in the Swindon Town side that won promotion to the Premiership (via the Division One playoffs) in 1993. He retired as a player in 2000, and joined Orient's coaching staff. He was appointed manager in January 2004. Ling has divided opinions between Leyton Orient fans, but seems to have won over the majority after their good form during the early months of 2007.
