Martha and the Muffins were a Canadian new wave synth pop band in the 1970s and 1980s. Although they only had one major hit single under that name, the core members of the band had several more hits as M + M.

The band's initial lineup came together in 1977, when Mark Gane, David Millar, Carl Finkle, Martha Johnson, Tim Gane and Martha Ladly came together and began playing shows in Toronto. Millar left the band within the year, however. (Although there were actually two Marthas in the band, lead singer Martha Johnson was the Martha of the band's name.)
