Martin Krpan je slovenska umetna pripovedka, ki jo je napisal Fran Levstik leta 1858.
Nekoč je živel Martin Krpan, močan in samosvoj človek. Ukvarjal se je s tihotapljenjem angleške soli, zaradi česar ga je oblast preganjala.
Nekega zimskega dne, ko je Krpan tovoril sol na svoji kobilici, mu je prišel naproti voz, na katerem je bil sam cesar, ki pa ga Krpan ni prepoznal. Ker se je voz hitro bližal, je Krpan dvignil kobilico in jo brez težav prestavil, da je ne bi povozili. Cesarja je Krpanova moč presenetila, zato ga je ogovoril, nato pa se odpravil naprej.
Leto dni po tem dogodku je po Dunaju začel razsajati strašen velikan Brdavs. Vabil je vse junake v boj, a ga nihče ni uspel premagati, ubil je vsakega premaganca, med njimi tudi cesarjevega sina. Takrat se je cesar spomnil na Krpana in ga dal poklicati. Ta se je odzval in prišel na Dunaj kjer je s svojo močjo osramotil cesarjevo orožarno in konjušnico, saj se mu je vsako orožje, ki ga je prijel, zdrobilo v rokah. Za boj z Brdavsom je posekal najlepšo lipo na dvornem vrtu in se s tem zameril cesarici – a si nazadnje le priskrbel orožje in dal privesti z Vrha svojo kobilico, s katero sta šla nato v boj. Martin Krpan je Brdavsu z lahkoto odsekal glavo.
Za nagrado je dobil dovoljenje za tovorjenje angleške soli in vrečko zlatnikov ter se zadovoljno odpravil domov.

Martin Krpan is a Slovene fiction written by Fran Levstik in 1858.
Once was lived Martin Krpan, a strong and independent man. He was smuggling English salt, which led to his persecution by the authorities.
One winter day, when Krpan was loading salt on his laden horse, a carriage with the emperor himself came towards him, but Krpan did not recognize him. As the cart was fast approaching, Krpan lifted the laden horse and moved it without any problems so that it would not be run over. The emperor was surprised by Krpan's power, so he addressed him and then moved on.
A year after this event, the terrible giant Brdavs began to spread across Vienna. He invited all the heroes into battle, but no one managed to defeat him, he killed every loser, including the emperor's son. At that time, the emperor remembered Krpan and had him summoned. He responded and came to Vienna, where he disgraced the emperor's armory and stables with his power, as every weapon he seized was crushed in his hands. To fight Brdavs, he cut down the most beautiful linden tree in the court garden and resented the empress - but in the end he only provided himself with weapons and had his laden horse brought from Vrh, with which he then went into battle. Martin Krpan easily cut off Brdavs' head.
As a reward, he received a permit for transportation English salt and a bag of gold coins and happily headed home.
