Anastacio Euclides Martínez (born November 3, 1978 in Villa Mella, Dominican Republic) is a professional baseball pitcher. He played part of the 2004 season in Major League Baseball for the Boston Red Sox, and most recently played for the Calgary Vipers. He is listed with a height of 6'2" and a weight of 180 lbs., and he bats and throws right-handed. He graduated from Liceo Santa Cruz College in the Dominican Republic.

Martínez was acquired by the Boston Red Sox as a non-drafted free agent in 1997. The Red Sox assigned Martínez to the Gulf Coast Red Sox, their Rookie-level minor league affiliate, where in 1998 he made ten starts, posting a 2-3 record with an ERA of 3.18. The club promoted him to the Single-A Lowell Spinners for the 1999 season, where he went 0-3 with a 3.68 ERA before being promoted to the Single-A Augusta GreenJackets. While Martínez initially struggled at Augusta; over the next two seasons (1999–2000) he went 11-10 with an ERA of 5.96. Martínez improved however, and at the end of the 2000 season narrowly missed pitching a no-hitter, giving up a one-out single in the 9th inning against the Asheville Tourists. Martínez's performance came just two days after teammate Eric Glaser threw a no-hitter against the Hagerstown Suns.
