- Martin Steven Lewis (born May 9, 1972 in Manchester, England) is a journalist, television presenter, and author in the United Kingdom, who specialises in ways to save money.
He has his own ITV daytime show Make Me Rich as well as occasionally presenting ITV1's Tonight, and is regular "Money Saving Expert" on several others (including BBC One's The One Show, Watchdog, Five's The Wright Stuff, ITV1's LK Today, This Morning and Richard Hammond's 5 O'Clock Show) as well as appearing as a guest expert on many news and other programmes.
He also has a regular phone-in on BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show and a weekly column in The Guardian. He is the author of a bestselling book, The Money Diet
Yet perhaps most influentially, he created and runs the website www.MoneySavingExpert.com. This is ranked the biggest consumer and personal finance site in the UK with over 1,500,000 users each month and over 800,000 receiving the Martin's Money Tips weekly e-mail.

- Britain's first full-time "Money Saving Expert", he grew up in Cheshire and now appears on radio and television.
- He never listens to any music.
- [on Michael Parkinson] He's a lovely man, that Parky - just don't listen to him when it comes to insurance. Michael Parkinson's caring voice-over makes Axa Sun Life's Over-50s Plan seem simple, yet for many it's a seriously bad bet. You wouldn't buy a lottery ticket if it cost more than the jackpot, but the two million people with these types of policies risk doing just that.
- [on Brexit] David Cameron gave us a black and white vote on a rainbow of issues and that has left us in a nightmare scenario.
