Martin County is a county in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2010 census, its population was 5,237. Its county seat is Stanton.[1] The county was created in 1876 and organized in 1884.[2] It is named for Wylie Martin, an early settler.[3]

Until November 2018, Martin County was one of six[4] entirely dry counties in Texas. During that month, Martin County changed from a dry county to a partially wet[5] county after Stanton residents voted to approve the sale of beer and wine within city limits.[6] Five dry counties remain.[7][8]

Martin County is included in the Midland–Odessa combined statistical area.
