The martingale convergence theorem was first proved by Doob (3) who considered a sequence of real-valued random variables. Since various collections of real-valued random variables can be regarded as vector lattices, it seems of interest to prove the martingale convergence theorem in an arbitrary vector lattice. In doing so we use the concept of order convergence that is related to convergence almost everywhere, the type of convergence used in Doob's theorem.
