Martin Canning (born 12 March 1981 in Stirling[citation needed]) is a Scottish football defender who is currently playing for Scottish Premier League side Hibernian.

Canning became Gretna’s record signing in January 2006 after joining from Ross County in a £60,000 deal[1]. He made 46 appearances for Gretna, scoring once against Livingston, and helped them to promotion to the SPL in the 2006-07 season.

Canning's contract with Gretna was terminated by mutual consent on 31 January 2008 due to the ensuing financial crisis at Gretna[2]. Canning had to waive money he was due by Gretna to ensure that he was released from his contract[3] and he was subsequently named in a creditors list published by Gretna's administrator in April 2008[4].

Canning signed a 16-month contract[5] on February 16, 2008 with Hibernian after impressing in two reserve games while on trial[6].
