Robert James Martin WIGHT (1913–1972), konata ankaŭ kiel Martin Wight, estis unu el la plej elstaraj de britaj fakuloj pri internaciaj rilatoj en la 20-a jarcento. Li estis la aŭtoro de la libro Power Politics (1946; reviziita kaj etendita eldono de 1978), same kiel de la ŝlosila eseo "Why Is There No International Theory?" (kial ne estas internacia teorio?, unuafoje publikigita en la gazeto International Relations en 1960 kaj republikigita en la eldonita kolekto Diplomatic Investigations en 1966). Li estis prestiĝa profesoro kaj en la London School of Economics kaj en la Universitato de Sussex, kie li servis kiel fonda Dojeno de Eŭropaj Studoj.

Wight estas ofte asocia kun la Brita komitato pri la teorio de internacia politiko – "Brita" por distingi ĝin el la usona institucio kiu estis fondita laŭ similaj intencoj – kaj la tiel nomita Angla skolo de teorio de internacia politiko. Lia laboro, kun tiu de la aŭstralia filozofo John Anderson, estis longdaŭra influu super la pensaro de Hedley Bull, aŭtoro de unu el la plej amplekse legataj tekstoj pri la naturo de internacia politiko, nome The Anarchical Society (1977).
