Martin Švagerko (born October 2, 1967 in Banská Bystrica ) is a former Slovak ski jumper who took part in international competitions between 1983 and 1994.

In 1984 he became Junior World Champion in Trondheim. In 1986 he celebrated his only victory in an individual World Cup in Chamonix. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti in 1989 , he won bronze on the normal hill with the Czechoslovak team. Although Czechs and Slovaks competed separately since the Four Hills Tournament on December 30, 1992, he won the silver medal at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun in 1993 with a joint Czech and Slovak team.

Švagerko took part in the Olympic Games twice. In 1984 he finished 42nd on the normal hill. Ten years later he was 25th on the normal hill and 28th on the large hill.
