Paul Nagymartoni (also Mertensdorfi, Hungarian: Nagymartoni Pál, German: Paul von Mattersdorf or Paul von Forchtenstein, French: Paul de Ferchiton; died June 1351) was an influential Hungarian nobleman and jurist in the first half of the 14th century, who served as Judge royal from 1328 to 1349.

He was a loyal partisan of Charles I, who strengthened royal power after decades of civil wars and feudal anarchy. Under Nagymartoni, the prestige of his position was restored. He established a professional staff and bureau on a permanent basis, initiating structural and judicial reforms. After 21 years in office, he was dismissed by Louis I.
