Jack A. Marta (March 5, 1903 – June 26, 1991) was an American cinematographer who was active in hundreds of movies throughout his life.
Director Steven Spielberg, who worked with Marta on Duel (1971), recalled: "Jack was a sweetheart. He was just a kind, gentle soul who you know had never worked that fast in his entire career; none of us had, and yet there was nothing he didn’t do or couldn’t do, and he really enjoyed himself."
In 1972, Marta was nominated for the Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography for Entertainment Programming - For a Special or Feature Length Program Made for Television.
