Commander Martin Madden is a Star Trek character, played by Steven Culp. He is a Starfleet officer in the 2370s. In 2379 he replaced William Riker as the Executive Officer of the USS Enterprise-E. Madden transfered from the USS Talos. The replacement was necessitated as Riker had accepted an offer to captain the USS Titan and second officer Data (who was in line to succeed Riker) was killed in battle.
The character was named after Marty Madden, longtime companion of Nemesis screenwriter John Logan. Steven Culp would ultimately be given the role of Major Hayes for the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise.
- Madden's scenes were deleted in the theatrical release of Star Trek: Nemesis (later included on the DVD) and the canonicity of the character is debatable. He is, however, considered by most fans to be Commander Riker's replacement as Picard's First Officer.
