Martin Schrot

Martin Schrot (Augsburg, ? – c. 1576) was a German goldsmith and engraver from Augsburg. His name has also been spelled "Schrott" and "Schroth". He is not to be confused with the Protestant poet from Augsburg with the same name.

Schrot was born in Augsburg and stayed in his native city for most of his life. He acted as a goldsmith, copperplate engraver, bookkeeper, and also as a townsman. In his book Wappenbuch, the tinctures were designated with the given names of the colours. Schrot's Wappenbuch has been described as "one of the most important armorials of the sixteenth century".
