Martin Dillon (born 1949) is an author and journalist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He worked for eighteen years at the BBC and has written plays and novels, but is best known for his non-fiction books about "the Troubles".
He gained particular acclaim for his book on the Shankill Butchers, although this and other works on terrorism led to him receiving death threats from a number of terrorist groups, which resulted in his emigration to France, and later to the United States. He has written books about the loyalist paramilitary Michael Stone and Special Air Service founder Paddy Mayne.

Dillon was very successfully active in attempting to revive German-Jewishcomposer and pianist, Robert Kahn's lost music. His efforts were internationally recognised by the musical and academic community. He made two acclaimed recordings dedicated to Kahn's music, Jungbrunnen (Fountain of Youth) and Der Liebe Macht (The Power of Love). Both recordings were world premiers. Dillon died before the recording of the third CD which was near completion.
Dillon was a world-renowned lyric tenor and musician who had performed several times at the Carnegie Hall in New York. He performed over 40 roles in the United States, Europe and Asia.
He was given the title of Honorary Captain of Police by the New Jersey Police Department in 2001 for his service to the community.
Dillon died about 12 hours after his August 20, 2005 concert at the Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival, unexpectedly, due to cardiac arrest.
