Martin Mull (born August 18, 1943) is an American actor, comedian, recording artist, and painter from Chicago. He is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design.
Following a period of stand-up comedy performances and humorous song recordings, his first famous role was as Garth Gimble and Barth Gimble in the television nighttime absurdist soap opera Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (1976), which led to spin-off comedy talk shows Fernwood 2-Night (1977) and America 2-Night (1978), in which he played the emcee Barth Gimble, opposite Fred Willard as sidekick Jerry Hubbard. He also has appeared as a guest on the game show Hollywood Squares.
He has also acted in feature films, including:

- Take This Job and Shove It (1981)
- Mr. Mom (1983)

- Jingle All the Way (1996)
Recurring roles followed on several television series:

- Family Dog
- Sabrina, the Teenage Witch
- The Ellen Show
Mull has recently done the voice of Vlad Masters/Vlad Plasmius on Danny Phantom.
In late 2004, he portrayed "Gene Parmesan," a private investigator who was better at showing up in strange places in strange disguises than actually finding anything out, on the FOX TV series Arrested Development. The episode was called "Amigos."
