Robert James Martin Wight (26 November 1913 – 15 Juli 1972), juga dikenal dengan nama Martin Wight, adalah salah satu ilmuwan hubungan internasional Britania Raya ternama pada abad ke-20. Ia merupakan penulis Power Politics (1946; direvisi dan diperluas tahun 1978) dan esai "Why is there no International Theory?" (pertama terbit di jurnal International Relations tahun 1960 dan diterbitkan lagi di Diplomatic Investigations tahun 1966). Ia pernah mengajar di London School of Economics dan Universitas Sussex dan menjabat sebagai Dekan Studi Eropa.
Wight sering dikaitkan dengan kelompok teori politik internasional Britania (berbeda dengan kelompok Amerika Serikat) dan hubungan internasional mazhab Inggris. Selain John Anderson, karya-karya Wight juga sangat memengaruhi pemikiran Hedley Bull, penulis salah satu buku terlaris di bidang politik internasional, The Anarchical Society (1977).
