Marthinus Prinsloo[needs IPA] (13 February 1751, Hexrivier – 1825, Cape Colony[1]) was the President of the Republic of Graaff-Reinet from 1795 to 1796 when the British seized the Dutch Cape Colony.[2]

His second cousin, Hermanus Steyn, was President of the Republic of Swellendam in 1795.

He was the father of Hendrik Frederik Prinsloo (1784-1816), who was hanged in 1816 for his involvement in the Slagtersnek Rebellion.[3]
