Jörgen Mårtensson (born 4 December 1959)[1] is a Swedish orienteer. He is one of the most successful Swedish orienteers of all times.

Twice a winner of the World Orienteering Championships, he also won the 5 days O-Ringen in 1981 (at age 21), 1996 and 1997 (at age 37). Furthermore, he won the Swedish Championship in Marathon at Stockholm Marathon in 1993. Now retired, he had one of the longest spanning careers in orienteering at world class level, taking part in World Championships over a period of twenty years. Starting with the 1978 World Orienteering Championships, where he placed eighth in the individual contest,[2] he competed in every world championship until 1997. He won the Jukola relay in 1981, 1984 and 1985.[3]
