Jacques-Martin Hotteterre (September 29, 1674 - July 16, 1763), also known as Jacques Martin or Jacques Hotteterre, was a French composer and flautist.

He spent two years (1698-1700) in the employ of Prince Francesco Ruspoili in Rome, before adopting the nickname of "Le Romain" at some point between 1705 and 1707. By 1708, he became a musician to the king of France, in the king's 'Grande Écurie, and in 1717, he inherited René Pignon Descoteaux's post as Jouëur de Fluste de la musique de chambre By 1743, he was listed among the most famous musicians in France.
