Martyn Wyndham-Read (b. 1942, Sussex, England) is an English folk singer and collector, particularly noted for his work preserving and performing Australian folk songs. Growing up on a Sussex farm, he heard the village blacksmith singing local songs and formed a skiffle band with fellow villagers before emigrating to Australia in 1960.

Working as a jackeroo on Emu Springs sheep station in South Australia, Wyndham-Read heard first-hand the old songs sung by station hands, becoming captivated by this repertoire. He moved to Melbourne and became part of the folk song revival throughout Australia during the early 1960s. Returning to England in 1967, he connected with A.L. Lloyd, who had himself spent time in Australia, and became a fixture on the British folk scene.

Wyndham-Read’s maritime recordings include The Valiant Sailor (1973, with Frankie Armstrong, Roy Harris, and A. L. Lloyd), a companion recording to Roy Palmer’s book The Valiant Sailor. He is also the instigator of the Song Links Project, which produced book-and-CD sets celebrating English traditional songs and their Australian and American variants.
