'''Martin Haverty''' (1809–1887) was an Irish journalist and historian.

==Life==
Born in [County Mayo](/source/County_Mayo) on 1 December 1809, he received most of his education at the [Irish College, Paris](/source/Irish_College%2C_Paris). He came to Dublin in 1836. In the following year, he joined the staff of the ''[Freeman's Journal](/source/Freeman's_Journal)'', with which he was connected until 1850.{{sfn|Archbold|1891}}

In 1851 Haverty made an extended tour through Europe, which he described in a long series of newspaper contributions. On his return to Dublin Haverty was made sub-librarian at the King's Inns, where he remained for nearly a quarter of a century, devoting himself principally to the preparation of a general index to the books in the library. He died in Dublin on 18 January 1887 and was buried in [Glasnevin Cemetery](/source/Glasnevin_Cemetery). [Joseph Patrick Haverty](/source/Joseph_Patrick_Haverty) was his brother.{{sfn|Archbold|1891}}
