Martin John Dale Bodenham (born 23 April 1950) is a former English football referee and cricket umpire who retired from the first-class cricket list in 2016. He was born in Brighton, but lived for a significant part of his life in Looe, Cornwall. He now resides in Ferring, in Sussex.
In 2008, Bodenham was named as a first class umpire by the England and Wales Cricket Board, for that year’s County cricket season. Officials said that, "he will make history as the first man to have officiated at top-flight football and umpire at first-class cricket in England and Wales." As a referee, his career highlights have included "the 1997 League Cup Final, and the replay match between Leicester City and Middlesbrough."
