Martins Heron is a suburb of Bracknell 25 miles (40 km) west of London in Berkshire, England. Martins Heron and the neighbouring suburb The Warren are, after a Parliamentary Boundary review, in the Bracknell constituency – until 2010 they were in the Windsor Constituency. It is in the Swinley Forest ward, which also includes Forest Park.
The name stems from the obsolete word hern, meaning nook or corner of land. The area is bordered by Bracknell to the west and large wooded areas, notably Swinley Woods on the east and Lily Hill Park to the north.
