}}James Aubrey Martensz {{post-nominals|list=CBE JP, UM}} (25 September 1885 – 26 March 1963) was a Ceylonese lawyer and politician.[1][2]

James Aubrey Martensz was born 25 September 1885, the oldest son, in a family of twelve, to James Andries Martensz (a planter) and Edith Maud née de Saram.[3] He received his education at Royal College, Colombo and then the Ceylon Law College, where he qualified as a Proctor. Marthensz served for a number of years as the private secretary to Justice Wendt and in 1908 was admitted to the bar. He then joined the legal firm of F. J. & G. de Saram, eventually becoming a senior partner in the firm. He was created a Justice of the Peace and Unofficial magistrate.[4]

Following Ceylon’s first parliamentary elections in 1947, Martensz was appointed as a member of the Ceylon House of Representatives. He was one of six members appointed by the Governor-General, to represent important interests which were not represented or inadequately represented in the House.[5] He officiated as Deputy Chairman of Committees between October 1947 and December 1948,[6] and on one occasion as Speaker of the House. He remained a member of parliament until January 1949, when he was appointed as Ceylon's first High Commissioner in Australia.[3][7][8]

In 1952, he was awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire.[9] He subsequently became Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in 1952.[8]

In 1957 he was elected as president of the Dutch Burgher Union of Ceylon, a position in which he served until 1959.[10]

Martensz emigrated to Australia in 1959 and died in Canberra on 26 March 1963.
