Martin Lyon Dobkin (born May 8, 1942) is a physician and former politician, who served as Mayor of the new City of Mississauga, Ontario, from 1973 to 1976. Dobkin served as mayor when Mississauga was reincorporated as a town in 1974. He was originally a medical doctor, continuing his practice when he was mayor. He continues to work as a doctor, although a car accident in 2003 reduced his activities.
In honour of his service to the city, the Dr. Martin L. Dobkin Community Park, a large 30 acre park in central Mississauga with multiple facilities, was officially opened on June 14, 1992.
