This is a partial list of people buried at St. Martin's CathedralinBratislava, Slovakia. St. Martin's Cathedral is known especially for previously being the coronation church of the Kingdom of Hungary and since it was built over an old cemetery, it contains catacombs of unknown length and several crypts containing the sepulchres of many significant historical figures, up to six meters beneath the church.

Over the centuries, the cathedral's sepulchres filled with many significant figures, such as ecclesiastic dignitaries, presidents of the historic Pozsony county as well as J. I. Bajza,[1][2] the author of the first Slovak novel, but also with dozens of bishops, canons, French priests fleeing the French Revolution and many people outside the Catholic church.
