The possibility of life on the planet Mars has fascinated scientists and sci-fi fans since at least the 19th century, though the word "Martian" wouldn't be popularized until the publishing of The War of the Worlds (1898), which highly influenced the depiction of Martians in popular culture.
In Western media, they are commonly depicted as either The Greys or Little Green Men. In Japan, Martians (called "Kaseijin") are depicted as Octopoid Aliens, based on how they appear in War of the Worlds. In most works, Martians possess highly advanced technology, including spaceships (especially flying saucers) and Ray Guns, and often use this technology for sinister purposes — either to Take Over the World, or abduct and experiment on unsuspecting people.
In Real Life, there is no hard evidence of life on Mars, past or present. There is mounting evidence that life as we know it may have been possible sometime in Mars' past, though as far as anyone can honestly tell, it may have only harbored unicellular life at most.
Compare to the aforementioned The Greys and Little Green Men. Related to Mars Needs Water, Mars Needs Women, Mars Wants Chocolate, and Once-Green Mars. Not to be confused with The Martian. Sub-trope of Solar System Neighbors.

Adventure Time: Mars is depicted as inhabited, being the place where Magic Man and and Grob Gob Glob Grod come from. The inhabitants live under a dome, though whether this is because the rest of the planet is inhospitable or not isn't stated.

Doom: The "portal to Hell" found on Mars was actually created by malicious aliens bent on conquering the Solar System. They engineered the various monsters based on medieval Christian imagery of Hell specifically to use as a weapon of terror, intent on sending them through the portal when everything was ready. However, humanity reached Mars sooner than they expected and set the portal off early. From the same series, a different faction of aliens has an active base on Pluto where they keep an eye on the rest of the Solar System.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians portrays Martians as food pill-eating, joyless, humorless, humanoid creatures with metallic-green skin and distinctly robot-like headgear incorporated into their costume design. The dullness of their heavily mechanized lives results in their children getting addicted to joyful, cheery Earthling holiday television programming.

Although the Martians in Red Planet and Stranger in a Strange Land are probably the most famous Heinlein-created Martians (and may, arguably, be in the same "universe"), Heinlein also created several other versions of Martians in various different works, from the frail "perambulator"-bound "pseudo-winged" Martians of Between Planets to the propriety-obsessed Martians of Double Star.

The War of the Worlds (1898) is about a Martian invasion of Earth. The Martians in the story are a technologically advanced race of Octopoid Aliens with large brains and no digestive tracts. Their main fighting machines are tripod walkers impervious to nearly all form of attack — they ultimately get defeated by pathogens, which they have no immune system to.

In Mars Needs Moms, Martians are squat, humanoid beings with antennae and skin color that varies by individual. When they travel to Earth, they wear transparent helmets and a bulbous, ribbed outer garment. In the story, a five-year-old boy learns to appreciate his mother after three Martians kidnap her while he sleeps. The story was later adapted into an animated film.

In Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars, Martians look just like somewhat short humans who wear orange-and-green checkered sweaters and black-and-white bowling shoes. One of them blends in effortlessly at a human school and starts a riot about whether he is one or not, yet others more versed in interplanetary travel can somehow easily visually identify them. They are ruled in part by the Martian High Commissioner Rolzup, who is a highly respected diplomat across planets and dimensions.

The Twilight Zone (1959): "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" centers around some troopers trying to figure out which of the patrons at a diner is a Martian. They fail, and when they're taken out by a bus crash the Martian set up, he reveals that he has a third arm and that more are on the way to colonize Earth. In keeping with the twists that the show loves to throw at its viewers, it then turns out that the diner's cook is, in fact, from Venus, and that his race has intercepted the Martians and intend to colonize Earth too, with the cook revealing that he has a third eye under his hat.

Marvel Universe:
The Martians of H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds are perfectly real, at least in the alternate reality of Killraven. Whether they also exist in the main Marvel Universe is a case of Depending on the Writer.
Other Martians have shown up in minor roles, such as the giant monster Zetora and the "Takers" from the Marvel 2099 universe.

LEGO:
LEGO Life on Mars, as stated in its title, is about humans discovering the native inhabitants of Mars. Unlike many other depictions of Martians, these Martians are largely friendly towards the humans. However, they weren't always this way; the radio drama The War of the Worlds (1938) was actually a true story, and even in modern day there is The Remnant still holding onto their violent past.
Subverted by LEGO Mars Mission, in which the aliens encountered on Mars are not actually Martians and are never referred to as such; LEGO Battles makes it explicitly clear that they aren't native to Mars. While the friendly Martians of Life on Mars are sadly nowhere to be seen, LEGO Battles does hint at the existence of Martians by showing ancient ruins on the planet, dating back long before the arrival of the aliens or humans.

Destroy All Humans! parodies this by having the main character Cryptosporidium, who resembles The Greys and has most of the stereotypical Martian traits and weapons but hails from a different planet entirely, often be referred to as a Martian, which irks him almost as much as being called a little green man. As a matter of fact, his species fought a Guilt-Free Extermination War against the actual Martians and won. The second game reveals the real Martians of the setting: warmongering giant lobster men known as Blisk.

Interestingly, Mr. Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series was originally conceived as being half-Martian, but the writers were afraid that astronauts would land on Mars during the series run and prove that there are no Martians.

Out of the Silent Planet has three sapient species on Mars: The otter-like hrossa, fifteen-foot tall séroni, and tapir-headed frog-like pfifltriggi. The human scientists attempting to invade initially mistake them for primitive "savages", but the hapless man they brought with them as a sacrifice to what they assumed was some pagan idol discovers that they are actually quite civilized, without comprehension of sin, and protected by an immaterial fourth species called the eldila essentially angels, and unfallen ones unlike those on Earth.

Invader Zim: Zim discovers that Mars is actually a giant spaceship as the Martians converted their homeworld into one. They're not around anymore, having overworked themselves into extinction trying to make their ship look cool.

Warhammer 40,000: Mars is the homeworld of the Adeptus Mechanicus Machine Cult, entirely devoted to industry and science (or rather the religion that is science). While there are no indigenous aliens there, the AdMech are so augmented that it's hard to think of them as human, and there's an unimaginably powerful star vampire known as the Void Dragon trapped somewhere under the surface (by the God-Emperor, making him as the original Saint George).

Doctor Who:
The Ice Warriors are the native inhabitants of Mars, though tend to be off-world or in underground colonies due to Mars no longer being habitable for them. They initially antagonized humanity because they wanted to terraform their world into something more comfortable for them.
The Flood from "The Waters of Mars" also count. They were sealed away in a glacier by the Ice Warriors and when human astronauts accidentally wake them up, they want to hitch a ride to Earth for their water.

John Carter of Mars: Mars, or "Barsoom" as the natives call it, is inhabited by several intelligent races. They range from the almost human Red Martians to the four-armed and tusked Green Martians to the more psychologically alien White, Black, and Yellow Martians.

GURPS Mars has four main versions of Mars, two of which have Martians: On Superscience Mars, they're giant insects with Raygun Gothic technology straight out of B-movies. On Dying Mars they're mostly-nearly-human-looking warrior tribes straight out of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

The Martians of H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds are perfectly real, at least in the alternate reality of Killraven. Whether they also exist in the main Marvel Universe is a case of Depending on the Writer.

Ghosts of Mars: Humans have colonized an apparently uninhabited Mars, but a scientist accidentally releases the spores of an ancient indigenous alien civilization that take over people's bodies and minds. The film ends with a Sequel Hook promising a full-scale war between humans and aliens for control of Mars.

The Martians in Trish Trash: Rollergirl of Mars are depicted is a four-armed race of insectoid humans. The second set of arms is lost whenever they shed their skin, and the resulting carapace can apparently be used to make a variety of items. Qiqi makes Trish and her team a bunch of roller skates from her various shed skins, and they use them to quickly become a team with a shot at the championship. They encounter more Martians in the cache they go into to hide from the Arex Corporation.
