Martin PBM Mariner (Mornar) je bil dvomotorni propelerski patruljni in bombniški leteči čoln / amfibijsko letalo iz obdobja druge svetovne vojne.

Leta 1937 je podjetje Glenn L. Martin Company zasnovalo dvomotorni leteči čoln Model 162 kot naslednika predhodnika Martin P3M. Za testiranje so zgradili ⅜ model Martin 162A Tadpole Clipper, ki ga je poganjal 120 konjski Chevroletov avtomobilski motor.

Na PBM so uporabili galebje krilo, da bi bila motorja čim višje nad gladino vode pri vzletih in pristankih. Prvi let PBM-1 je bil 18. februarja 1939, skupaj so zgradili 1.366 letal.
