Martin Everardus Reyners (born 1950), Auckland, New Zealand FRSNZ Ph.D. He was educated at St Peter's College, Auckland and the University of Auckland (Ph.D (Geophysics) - 1978).,ref>Rick Maxwell, St Peter's College,, Auckland, Simerlocy Press, Auckland, 2008, pp. 23 and 53 (Note 202).</ref>

He is a Principal Scientist at the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GNS Science), Lower Hutt and has established an international reputation in subduction zone studies, especially in relation to New Zealand. His work has enabled the three-dimensional tomographic imaging of colliding plates and so shown the modus operandi of plate tectonics under New Zealand, especially in relation to the Taupo Volcanic Zone, which is the most frequently active and productive silicic volcanic system on Earth. He has cast light on the mysterious termination of volcanic activity at Mt Ruapehu and its non-continutation with the subducted Pacific plate further south under New Zealand.

He is currently examining why the New Zealand tectonic plates are jammed together in some places. If these unjam, there could be a large earthquake.

Reyners has been awarded the Hochstetter Lectureship and (twice) the New Zealand Geophysics Prize.
